'Priscilla' is based on Priscilla Presley's own autobiography, 'Elvis and Me', which Coppola adapted herself. The film centers on Priscilla's life and her love affair with the King of Rock 'n' Roll, following her from her early years as a teenage army brat stationed in West Germany to her arrival at Graceland.
SCATHING!! Skip Priscilla's 'MOVIE' the Interview IS the story!
The release of 'Priscilla' acts as a kind of counterbalance to last year's 'ELVIS' which told the story of Elvis Presley from the singer's point of view according to Variety. The Warner Bros. release was a box office hit, grossing US$288 million worldwide and earning eight Oscar nominations, including best picture and best actor for Austin Butler.
'Priscilla' is set to open in movie theaters October 27 from A24. It will also serve as the centerpiece screening of the New York Film Festival in October.
Variety wrote: 'To borrow a lyric from her famous husband's hit song, Priscilla Presley was all shook up at the Venice Film Festival premiere of 'Priscilla'. The subject of Sofia Coppola's drama wiped away tears from her face on Monday night in Italy as the audience on the Lido exploded in a 7-minute standing ovation for the A24 indie film. Coppola and Presley attended the premiere alongside Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, who star as Priscilla and Elvis.
Presley was visibly moved by the film. As she dried her eyes, she hugged Spaeny. Coming off the heels of Baz Luhrmann's 'ELVIS', which opened in theaters in 2022, Coppola cast Elordi as the King of Rock and Roll in a portrait that isn't always so flattering. This Elvis is addicted to sleeping pills, loses his temper and tries to control what his girlfriend wears as he cheats on her'.
Elvis Presley Enterprises and the Authentic Brands Group had no involvement in this film which doesn't feature any music by Elvis Presley.
At a press conference for the film Monday, Priscilla, 78, called Elvis 'the love of my life' even as she discussed her decision to divorce the icon in 1972.
'It's very difficult to sit and watch a film about you and about your life and about your love', she told reporters. 'I think Sofia did an amazing job, she did her homework. We spoke a couple of times and I really put everything out for her that I could'.
Coppola, 52, said she could put herself in Priscilla's shoes when it came to meeting Elvis as a teenager. 'I can go back to being that age and remember having a crush on an older guy and a rockstar', she told reporters. 'I just imagined myself in her point of view'.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
