After impressing the critics at the Venice Film Festival, a new trailer for Priscilla has landed today.
The A24 movie directed by Sofia Coppola stars Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla Presley and Jacob Elordi as Elvis Presley, in a story said to not sugarcoat the truth of the celebrity marriage.
Elordi follows the Oscar-nominated Austin Butler as The King, in first footage of him properly speaking as the late star’s Southern drawl.
The film covers already famous 24-year-old Elvis on army service in 1950s West Germany, where he began dating 14-year-old Priscilla.
New clips from the movie depict the star controlling what his teenage girlfriend wore, their wedding day and their complicated romance.
The official synopsis reads: “When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.
“Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.”
Priscilla hits UK cinemas for previews on Boxing Day followed by a wide release on New Year’s Day.
