Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, her new film based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me, now has an official trailer. Cailee Spaeny stars as Priscilla, with Jacob Elordi playing Elvis. The film is set to arrive in theaters on November 3.
The trailer features Spaeny as a young girl being courted by the celebrated singer. He asks who the kids listen to, and she responds with, “Bobby Darin, Fabian, and you.” The clip ends with a glimpse at Graceland and Priscilla saying in voiceover, “I want a life of my own.”
The film was shot very quickly and on a limited budget. In an interview with Financial Times, Coppola explained her attraction to the project, saying, “I had looked at Elvis and Me maybe 10 years ago… But, on reading it again, it spoke to me,” she said, before adding that it reminded her of “my mom’s generation, and how my mom grew up with a big force of a husband...All those stages of transition, from girlhood to adult womanhood. I felt it was relatable.”
