Jacob Elordi and Cailee Spaeny star in the first trailer for the biopic ‘Priscilla’.

Jacob Elordi transforms into the King of Rock and Roll in the first teaser trailer of Priscilla, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley biopic.

Cailee Spaeny plays Priscilla Presley in Coppola’s project, based on Presley’s memoir also written by Sandra Harmon, Elvis and Me: The true story of love between Priscilla Presley and the king of rock n’ roll. The story follows Priscilla Presley from when she met Elvis at 14 and living in Germany, through their multi-year courtship.

The synopsis of the film reads: “When teenager Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone completely unexpected in private moments: an electrifying crush, an ally in solitude, a sweet best friend. Through the eyes of Priscilla, Sofia Coppola tells the invisible side of a great American myth in the long courtship and turbulent marriage of Elvis and Priscilla, from a German army base to her dream estate at Graceland, in this portrait of love deeply felt and incredibly detailed, fantasy and fame.”

After Elvis Presley’s death, Priscilla Presley came to control his estate, eventually morphing into the Graceland tourist attraction and creating Elvis Presley Enterprises.

SuccessionDagmara Dominczyk also stars in the film, written and directed by Coppola.

“Elvis and Priscilla are kind of American royalty, who were… I wouldn’t say bandits, but I think it just goes to show that… Elvis and Priscilla are back in culture, not just popular culture, but, I think, American culture industry,” he said. “I did the Elvis story to explore America in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I think their lives are really woven into the fabric of American history. And I’m really looking forward to it.” to know which part of the story will be told.
