Jacob Elordi is set to play Elvis Presley while Cailee Spaeny will play Priscilla Presley in Sofia Coppola’s ‘Priscilla,’ an adaptation of the 1985 bestselling memoir ‘Elvis and Me.’
The memoir recounts the story of their love, revealing the details of their first meeting, their marriage, their affairs, their divorce, and the unbreakable bond that remained long after his tragic death.
Coppola wrote and will direct the feature film, she will also reteam with her longtime collaborators, including cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd costume designer Stacey Battat, editor Sarah Flack and production designer Tamara Deverell.
