With Priscilla<\/a> set to be released in UK cinemas early next year, and having already been released in the US, it has now been revealed that Elvis Presley\u2019s daughter, Lisa Marie<\/a>, expressed major issues with the film\u2019s script before her death earlier this year.<\/p>\n Variety<\/a> has revealed emails were sent between Presley and the film\u2019s<\/a> director Sofia Coppola four months before her death, in which Presley said the film came from a \u201cshockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective\u201d.<\/p>\n The film tells the story of Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s relationship, with the couple having met when he was 24 and she was 14.<\/p>\n The synopsis says it tells the story \u201cthrough Priscilla\u2019s eyes\u201d to show \u201cthe unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla\u2019s long courtship and turbulent marriage\u201d. Priscilla Presley is an executive producer on the film.<\/p>\n In the emails, Presley said that her father only came \u201cacross as a predator and manipulative\u201d in the script, and said that, were the film to be produced from the script she had read, she would be \u201cforced to be in a position where I will have to openly say how I feel about the film and go against you, my mother and this film publicly\u201d.<\/p>\n
