Following hot on the heels of Baz Luhrman\u2019s Elvis<\/a>, Jacob Elordi (Euphoria<\/a>) is gearing up for a new take on the King of Rock and Roll in Sofia Coppola\u2019s Priscilla.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, while the new biopic does include some aspects of Elvis\u2019s career, the movie will focus predominantly on Priscilla Presley, telling the famous couple\u2019s story entirely from her perspective (for the first time).<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the real-life Priscilla Presley\u2019s autobiography\u00a0Elvis and Me<\/a>, the film will follow Priscilla (Cailee Spaeny) from the ages of 14 to 27, chronicling her first meeting with Elvis, as well as their subsequent relationship and marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Elvis\u2019 estate has criticised the biopic,<\/span> with officials connected to the estate reportedly calling the film a \u201chorrible\u201d college movie<\/a> earlier this year, <\/span>Priscilla herself told TMZ in June: \u201cI am very excited to see the interpretation of my book by the masterful Sofia Coppola. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe has such an extraordinary perspective and I have always been such an admirer of her work. I\u2019m certain this movie will take everyone on an emotional journey.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So, when can we expect the movie to land? Read on for everything we know about Priscilla<\/a> so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Cailee Spaeny leads the cast of Priscilla as the titular character, while Jacob Elordi stars as Elvis<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Viewers will recognise Spaeny from her role in the 2019 Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic, The Basis of Sex, as well as the TV series Mare of Easttown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talking about how she sat down with Priscilla before production began in order to ensure she portrayed her authentically, Spaeny previously told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>: <\/span>\u201cIt was so intimidating to take on this role and knowing that Priscilla was gonna see it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI just wanted her to feel safe and feel like she could recognise herself in this story and this time in her life, which was sort of amazing but also difficult in many ways.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Elordi is best known for his role in the Netflix film<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The Kissing Booth<\/span><\/a> as well as HBO\u2019s Euphoria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussing the process of transforming into Elvis for the film, the star previously told <\/span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/span>: \u201cThe kind of first thing for me was just kind of disabling the mythology and attempting to play him as a human being and a person, who\u2019s given a certain set of circumstances.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cSo, the whole thing all the time was just trying to walk the tightrope between being arguably one of the most famous people in the world and a human being at the same time, and being honest with the love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the biopic, Dagmara Domi\u0144czyk (Succession) appears as Priscilla\u2019s mother, Ann Beaulieu, while Ari Cohen stars as Priscilla\u2019s step father, Captain Beaulieu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Priscilla plot: What happens in the movie?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The movie will tell the famous couple\u2019s story from the perspective of Priscilla, chronicling their first meeting right through to their marriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a gentle best friend,\u201d the official synopsis reads.<\/span><\/p>\n

It continues: \u201cThrough Priscilla\u2019s eyes, Sofia Coppola <\/span>[the writer and director]<\/span> tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
