The New Perspective: A First Look at the Movie “Priscilla” about Elvis Presley’s Wife

The mesmerizing story of Elvis Presley has already been a hit on the big screen, but now we are about to witness a unique perspective – Priscilla’s. On Wednesday, the first trailer for the upcoming movie centered on Elvis’ wife, Priscilla Presley, was released, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its release later this year.

The highly anticipated film, titled “Priscilla,” is directed by Sofia Coppola, renowned for her masterpiece “Lost in Translation.” The movie delves into the journey of Priscilla Ann Wagner (played by Cailee Spaeny), who later becomes Elvis’s wife (played by Jacob Elordi). However, what sets this film apart from others is its focus on Priscilla herself. Unlike movies where Elvis dominates the storyline, Coppola’s creation appears to keep the narrative centered around Priscilla, as evident in this tantalizing glimpse from the trailer. Audiences are treated to glimpses of Priscilla’s formative years as a young girl, as well as intimate moments with Elvis that provide a glimpse into his personal side beyond the grandeur of his stage persona.

Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, “Priscilla” is inspired by Priscilla Presley’s memoir, Elvis and Me, which she co-authored with Sandra Harmon. In addition to the talented duo of Spaeny and Elordi, the film boasts an impressive cast including Jorja Cadence and Dagmara Domińczyk. “Priscilla” is proudly produced and distributed by A24, known for their exceptional contributions to the film industry.
