Famed director Sofia Coppola is bringing forth a fresh cinematic take on Elvis and Priscilla Presley's iconic relationship in "Priscilla," just one year after Baz Luhrmann's heady biopic "Elvis" was released.
"Priscilla" stars "Euphoria" actor Jacob Elordi as Elvis and Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla, and is based on Priscilla's 1986 memoir titled "Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N' Roll," which she co-wrote with author Sandra Harmon.
In the movie's first trailer, released on Wednesday, Spaeny is seen applying Priscilla's signature glam -- beehive hairdo, cat-eye eyeliner and all -- and offers a look at the genesis of how the legendary couple came to be.
The trailer showcases quick cuts of besotted Elvis and Priscilla laying eyes on each other, along with what appears to be their first date and visits to Elvis's Graceland mansion in Memphis.
"Priscilla" is the latest iteration of an Elvis story being told onscreen, following Luhrmann's Oscar-nominated 2022 "Elvis" movie that starred Austin Butler.
That film saw Priscilla portrayed by actor Olivia DeJonge. The real Priscilla Presley voiced emphatic praise for the Luhrmann film on her social media, and she supported it in person at numerous premiere events and awards shows.
Priscilla has spoken kindly of the new film as well however, telling Variety last year that she thinks Elordi is "a great actor."
"I love Sofia (Coppola)," she added, continuing to say "I love her film work, and I think it'll be fine... I hope!"
"Priscilla" is scheduled for release in October.
