One more biopic dripping with controversy!
Scorching on the heels of the frenetic Elvis comes one other film about Elvis Presley — solely this one is from a really particular perspective. Sofia Coppola‘s Priscilla guarantees to inform the story from the attitude of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s (very) younger bride, performed by Cailee Spaeny (Mare of Easttown). The position of Elvis will probably be performed this time by Jacob Elordi (Euphoria).
After the teaser for the A24 flick dropped this week, some officers from the Elvis Property have been enraged. They instructed TMZ the film was made with out their data or consent — and so they suppose it’s only a money seize!
We anticipated perhaps they’d be upset concerning the content material. Cailee Spaeny is a really young-looking actress, so it appears to be like like they could really be addressing head-on the controversial reality Priscilla began courting Elvis when she was simply 14?

It appears, nonetheless, they’re extra involved with the aesthetics, as one official who noticed the movie instructed the outlet they thought it was “horrible”:
“It looks like a university film. The set designs are simply horrific, it’s not what Graceland appears to be like like.”
What does Priscilla herself suppose? Moreover being her story, it’s based mostly on her personal 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me — so she should be on board, proper? Yup! She instructed TMZ:
“I’m very excited to see the interpretation of my ebook by the masterful Sofia Coppola. She has such a unprecedented perspective and I’ve all the time been such an admirer of her work. I’m sure this film will take everybody on an emotional journey.”
Properly, you’ll be able to’t please everybody we guess. Even the Oscar-nominated Baz Luhrmann film received fairly combined evaluations. What do YOU suppose, Perezcious cinephiles? Are you going to test it out??
