"From high school villain to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll!" Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right! It has been a year since Baz Luhrmann regaled us with his biopic, 'Elvis', but this time, it's the queen's turn. Jacob Elordi, our favorite 'Euphoria' baddie and 'The Kissing Booth' heartthrob, is ready to trade his school uniform for a jumpsuit as Elvis Presley, in Sofia Coppola's upcoming venture, 'Priscilla'.
"Rekindling the Untold Love Story"
The A24 masterpiece brings to life Mrs. Priscilla Ann Presley, embodied by none other than Cailee Spaeny, star of HBO’s 'Mare of Easttown'. The film, a silver-screen adaptation of Presley's memoir, 'Elvis And Me', sheds light on the less-explored dynamics of the couple's romance and marriage. Where Luhrmann's biopic merely skimmed over the duo's marital life, 'Priscilla' delves deeper, opening a window into a chapter that began in 1959 with a 14-year-old Priscilla and 23-year-old Elvis. The rocky road of their love journey led to their marriage in 1967, a child the next year, and, unfortunately, inevitable separations caused by extramarital affairs.
"Another Coppola Masterpiece Unfolding"
Sofia Coppola teams up with A24 for the third time, following the triumphs of 'On The Rocks' and 'The Bling Ring'. 'Priscilla' also reunites her with a robust team: director of photography Philippe Le Sourd, costume designer Stacey Battat, editor Sarah Flack, and production designer Tamara Deverell. A recipe for success, wouldn't you agree?
"Elordi and Spaeny: A Star-studded Ensemble"
While Elordi takes a drastic character to leap from his previous roles, Cailee Spaeny, known for 'Bad Times At The El Royale' and 'Pacific Rim: Uprising', is set to astound us yet again. The anticipation is palpable as the filming for 'Priscilla' is all set to roll this fall in Toronto.
As we impatiently wait for this intriguing untold tale to unfold, one thing's for sure: "From ' high school villain to the King of Rock 'n' Roll", Jacob Elordi is set to leave us all shaken up!
