Jacob Elordi is set to portray Elvis Presley in A24 and Sofia Coppola‘s next film, Priscilla.
According to the reports, the upcoming film is based on Priscilla Beaulieu Presley’s memoir Elvis and Me and will see Cailee Spaeny star opposite Elordi as Priscilla. The book, which was published in 1985, is Priscilla’s own account of her relationship with Elvis, including their affairs, the effect of the Beatles’ music industry domination, their marriage and eventual divorce.
Priscilla will mark Coppola’s first film since 2020’s On The Rocks, which starred Rashida Jones and bill Murray, and will be produced by the filmmaker, Henley, Lorenzo Mieli, Fremantle Company and American Zoetrope, while A24 will distribute the film in North America. Coppola’s frequent collaborators are also set to join her for the project, including Director of Photography Philippe Le Sourd, Costume Designer Stacey Battat, Editor Sarah Flack and Production Designer Tamara Deverell.
