A24 dropped an official teaser trailer for Priscilla, the biopic film based on Priscilla Presley’s bestselling memoir “Elvis and Me”, and follows her life and relationship with Elvis Presley.

Written and directed by Academy Award winner Sofia Coppola, the film starring Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, and Dagmara Dominczyk, is expected to open in theaters in October 2023.

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 gentle 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.

In an interview with Vogue, when asked, What about Priscilla’s story made you want to adapt her memoir as your next feature?, Sofia Coppola said, “I’ve had her memoir for years and remember reading it a long time ago. A friend of mine was talking about her recently, and we got around to discussing the book. I read it again and was really moved by her story. I was supposed to start this big Edith Wharton project that was gonna take five months to shoot and felt really daunting. I came up against a few hurdles, so I just decided to pivot to making one film with one idea. 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 was going through all the stages of young womanhood in such an amplified world – kinda similar to Marie Antoinette.”
