The trailer for Sofia Coppola's A24-produced Priscilla Presley biopic, chicly simply titled Priscilla, is finally here and it looks absolutely sumptious.

The film, which is set for release this coming October, stars Cailee Spaeny (Vice, The Craft: Legacy) as Priscilla and Euphoria heartthrob Jacob Elordi as Elvis. Watch the trailer below. This October, we’re going to Graceland. Watch the first teaser for Sofia Coppola’s PRISCILLA, starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, and based on Priscilla Presley’s memoir ‘Elvis & Me.’ pic.twitter.com/6o31cTEqil— A24 (@A24) June 21, 2023 The news that Sofia Coppola was making a film about Priscilla and Elvis Presley was first announced last year, with Coppola telling Vogue that she she was “really moved” by Priscilla’s story. “I was just so interested in Priscilla’s story and her perspective on what it all felt like to grow up as a teenager in Graceland,” she said. “She was going through all the stages of young womanhood in such an amplified world – kind of similar to Marie Antoinette.” Acting as an executive producer is Priscilla Presley herself, with Coppola telling Vogue that "she’s been incredibly open" about the project. “She’s probably told these stories a million times, so I feel grateful that she’s been so patient,” Coppola added. “It’s amazing how much detail she can recall from that time in her life.” Priscilla arrives hot on the heels of Baz Luhrmann’s glitzy Elvis biopic, which starred Austin Butler and which was nominated for eight Academy Awards. That film, however, did not focus intensely on the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla. The film marks Sofia Coppola’s third collaboration with A24, following previously films On the Rocks and The Bling Ring. A television adaptation of Edith Wharton’s Custom of the Country is also in the works. While the exact release date for the film remains to be seen, in a tweet A24 confirmed Priscilla will find its way to cinemas in October. See you there.
