"Never Wanted To Vilify": Priscilla’s Elvis Presley Representation Clarified By Director

Priscilla director Sofia Coppola clarifies the film’s representation of Elvis Presley, stating that she “never wanted to vilify” him. Released in theaters everywhere on November 3, the new film primarily follows Priscilla Presley’s perspective in her relationship with Elvis, based on her 1985 memoir Elvis and Me. Priscilla has received positive reviews, especially for Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi’s lead performances, though there are some, mainly the Elvis estate, who take issue with the film’s depiction of the iconic King of Rock and Roll.
