Sofia Coppola Has Her Own Take on the Presleys in the Works
It turns out Elvis has not left the building.
After receiving the glitzy (and unintentionally hilarious) biopic treatment from Baz Luhrmann earlier this year, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll—and, presumably, his gyrating hips —will be gracing the silver screen once again in a new Sofia Coppola movie.
Deadline revealed the first details about the film in a Monday post. The Oscar-winning filmmaker is set to write and direct Priscilla, based on the memoir Elvis and Me by Presley’s iconic ex-spouse Priscilla Beaulieu Presley. The movie will star 25-year-old actress Cailee Spaeny, who’s appeared in Pacific Rim: Uprising and Bad Times at the El Royale, in the titular role. None other than Euphoria star and famously Tortured and Serious Actor Jacob Elordi will take on the apparently extremely taxing role of Elvis Presley.
