Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, and Priscilla Creative Team on Sofia Coppola's Biopic | NYFF61

At the North American premiere of Priscilla, our Centerpiece selection, actors Cailee Spaeny & Jacob Elordi, costumer designer Stacey Battat, production designer Tamara Deverell, and producer Youree Henley discussed the film with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim.
No one knew American pop icon Elvis Presley more tenderly during his superstar years than Priscilla Ann Wagner, whose own story as Elvis’s romantic partner and only wife has rarely been told. Director Sofia Coppola, who in her remarkable filmography has so often returned to intimate portraits of women living complicated lives behind closed doors, has found a subject exquisitely tailored to her interests. As portrayed with extraordinary poise and strength by Cailee Spaeny, Priscilla finally becomes the center of her narrative. Coppola follows her love affair with Elvis (an equally revelatory, larger-than-life Jacob Elordi), from her early years as a teenage army brat stationed in West Germany to her surreal arrival at Graceland, which becomes both her home and prison. With her customarily precise attention to texture and detail, Coppola has created one of her most stirring, vivid films, a tribute to a woman who was living in the public eye before she had truly experienced the world.

Cailee and Jacob were in their own little world. They seem pretty close and in sync...

[@lizziewtafan]

Even their outfits and accessories seem in sync 😅

[@jeandavid222]

Remarkable movie, filmed by a remarkable director with remarkable actors. A very moving journey.

[@juliadandry-richards3355]

In my opinion Cailee and Jacob did a fantastic job in the movie Priscilla.

[@11398666]

God how cute is Cailee?

[@yearofthedragonjane]

this film was an honest depiction of priscillas experience, gentle and subtle.

[@user8163]

i absolutely love the new movie priscilla, but this interview seemed like they didn’t want to be there , especially jacob . I think the facilitator seemed bored and created an awkward atmosphere. However i think jacob and cailee did a fantastic job in the film . A big well done 👏 ❤

[@sarahgordino6695]

As for research of Graceland and what it looked like before Priscilla.. Anita Wood, Elvis' actual girlfriend from 57-62 before he replaced her with Priscilla, shares in her book and a few interviews some great details of what Graceland and Elvis's bedroom looked like in the late 50s and early 60s.

[@weasley2o13]

Fucking replaced her?!

[@laureneck2177]

these comments are giving season 6 episode two i think of black mirror. like the one about those film kids finding a story

[@Junooo79]

Very interesting! And so excited to see this movie! ❤ Hope it comes to Europe Nov 3

[@kathleenmanley9733]

I thought it was a oversight to not have Elvis music but I LOVED the music and wish to obtain ir when it is available.

[@Elvisgirl1977]

The estate wouldn’t let them use his music .

[@ClaraMele-kr4ke]

Il film uscirà a Novembre dopo Halloween. Le due vecchie Streghe Sofia Coppola e Priscilla arriveranno un po' più tardi al Cinema con la loro Soap Opera " Priscilla. " . Boxing Helena+ Capitol+ Dynasty+ Dallas+ Beautiful ( il nome Priscilla su una stoffa blu di seta, Beautiful invece la stoffa di seta è rosa antico)

[@claramele7971]

Nei primi anni 90 uscì il film "Boxing Helena" di Jennifer Lynch , figlia di David Lynch, e con mio fratello andai a vederlo a Napoli. Trovo molte somiglianze del film "Priscilla" di Sofia Coppola con il film "Boxing Helena". Nel film Priscilla si vede l'ex moglie di Elvis dentro una stanza con il viso mezzo illuminato e che guarda nella direzione di un'altra stanza , mi sono ricordata all'improvviso proprio l'attrice Sherilyn Fenn con il viso mezzo illuminato che osserva il suo stalker Julian Sands che si accoppiava con altre donne in un'altra stanza. L'idea dell'uomo ricco e potente che ingabbia la donna era già in Boxing Helena. La Locandina di Priscilla vicino la finestra con dietro la tenda e fuori notte assomiglia incredibilmente a Sherlyn Fenn HELENA con la camicia di seta vicino ad una finestra di notte con la tenda dietro (Se su Google cercate immagini Boxing Helena troverete la foto di Sherlyn Fenn) Comunque il titolo "Priscilla" è stato messo davanti ad un tessuto di seta scuro. Cosa ricorda ? Beautiful che dietro ha un tessuto di seta rosa antico.

[@saritalynnedwinabaker-brow8709]

Terrible facilitator. Great panel. Missing Sophia But what a ride!

[@mariabarber61]

I don't unstable how 2 people can star in a movie whenits one sided

[@JoAnnKlingaman-iu4lm]

When Director Coppalo said that she didn't make the movie for Elvis fans, I knew the fix was in. Priscilla has changed stories over the years, too many to list. I will say that when she sued Lisa Marie estate shortly after she died & took money that should of gone to her Grandchildren, what grandmother does that !!! To me unforgivable and what kind of person she is !!!

[@andrewmiller4885]

You ask what kind of person priscilla is ? ...She is a wicked demon of a woman; in fact she has been described that way by those who knew her and Elvis and even lived with both of them in Graceland. This film is a hatchet job on Elvis, and true Elvis fans will not pay their money to see this bag of Cilla's lies.

[@jrpacer6355]

I totally agree

[@alexagomez643]

The movie is actually great, it shows the true perspective of what Priscilla dealt with after choosing a tough life to be with the king of rock. It’s not just surface leveled about Elvis’s triumphs, it shows the challenges they faced with many ups and downs and how hard it was to choose that life while still a young teen girl. This comments section sucks… Women need to stop putting women down, the man (as talented as he was musically and a good father) was a man who didn’t respect her many points in life. The movie is simply honest to Priscilla’s life experience and showcases her & Elvis’s great moments together too.

[@youtubeuserthinker]

[@ettorebelangeropreite5187]

It's always a disappointing interview. I'm excited about the project but these interviews ruin everything, no one has anything interesting to say and another, they keep hitting on the same thing, that this is Priscilla's story, because no one ever knew about her life, in fact, her life It was told by her in a book and a miniseries, in fact, the story of Elvis himself was told by others and not by him. He died virtually Alone paying Priscilla pension and allowance.

[@elvis78ale]

No one has anything interesting to say...not even Priscilla. The usual story full of lies she wants people to believe and that helps her to get more money from the Presley name. This film is totally useless, as the protagonist of the story 😂😂😂

[@JoAnnKlingaman-iu4lm]

There are so many people that don't know the real story & just swoon over Priscilla & the main stream media !! The true Elvis fans know !

[@depper]

Priscilla is a CREEP & a THIEF: SOFIA LEFT ALL THIS OUT OF HER PHONY GOLD DIGGER FILM: NOT IN THE MOVIE: Priscilla stole from Lisa Marie's trust fund by paying herself $900,000, out of Lisa Marie's trust fund WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT!! Total financial damage: $16 million. NOT IN THE MOVIE: It's believed now that Marco Garibaldi/Garcia EMBEZZLED $15 MILION from Lisa Marie's trust fund. Co-trustees Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu and Barry Siegel pressured Lisa Marie to sell 85% of her EPE-shares because it would be financially advantageous for them as trustees of Lisa Marie's trust fund. Never mind Lisa Marie's financial interests! NOT IN THE MOVIE: After taxes Lisa Marie had $45 MILLION left from the sale of her EPE-shares. That money was squandered by Barry Siegel; he invested it in his own company, that went broke. He never paid Lisa Marie back. NOT IN THE MOVIE: Priscilla's parents encouraged her relationship with Elvis because they were starstruck and wanted status and money. When Elvis was back in the States they discouraged Priscilla from dating with boys in Germany. Her mother, Ann Iversen, pushed Priscilla to write love letters to Elvis, who occasionally called Priscilla and was back with girlfriend Anita Wood. It was Priscilla, ordered by Ann, who begged Elvis to invite her to the US and it was her parents who forced Priscilla to move to Graceland although she wanted to stay in Germany with her then-boyfriend. NOT IN THE MOVIE: After the divorce, Priscilla and Lisa Marie lived in a house that exposed not a single photo of Elvis Presley, the man, Priscilla claims, is the love of her life. Elvis certainly didn't believe her. In her book Elvis and Me, Priscilla seems to depict herself as the innocent victim of a bad man, Elvis Presley, but in reality, it is the other way around. It was Elvis Presley, who was manipulated and exploited by Priscilla and her parents. You don't publish negative books/films/interviews about the "love of your life". NOT IN THE MOVIE: When Elvis had died, Priscilla was overheard telling her half-sister Michelle, giggling, that everybody thought she was crying behind her sunglasses but in reality, she was laughing. Priscilla thought she would inherit from Elvis but she did not. Elvis removed Priscilla from his will in February 1977 and left everything to HIS DAUGHTER Lisa Marie. NOT IN THE MOVIE: Priscilla tried to challenge the will BACK THEN but to no avail. ONLY AFTER Elvis' death, did Priscilla IMMEDIATELY resume the use of the profitable surname PRESLEY to promote herself. **** Elvis forbade her in the divorce agreement to use his name but Priscilla has no respect for Elvis' wishes. **** NOT IN THE MOVIE: JUST FOUR DAYS after the funeral of Lisa Marie Priscilla challenged Lisa Marie's will from 2016 that removed her as trustee and placed Riley and deceased Benjamin in her seat. Now Riley has agreed that she will pay Priscilla $1.4 MILLION,-- and a guaranteed yearly allowance, during 10 years, to stop her from challenging Lisa Marie's will. Priscilla is also paid subtrustee over 1/9 of the Presley-estate that halfbrother Navarone Garbaldi gets. In a will, that Lisa Marie drew up in 1993, when she was 25, she left, in case of death, 1/9 of her estate to Navarone whom she then adored but when Lisa Marie died she had broken off all contact with Navarone, who publicly scolded her and wished her dead. *** AND NOW YOU LEARNED MORE ABOUT ELVIS AND PRISCILLA's relationship than ANYTHING you'll learn in this Sofia bust. THE SAD REALITY THAT SOFIA JUST GETS WRONG IN THIS TOTAL FABRICATION FILM: Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu is only interested in being famous and rich. She has exploited Elvis, Lisa Marie and now Riley, Finley and Harper. Priscilla is a narcissist who uses people and then discards them. EPE should boycot the Priscilla-movie. LETS SEE THE REAL MOVIE ABOUT ALL THIS SOFIA!!!!! Not Priscilla's strategic fantasy of lies.

[@brendagaskill6595]

AMERICAN ROYALTY????? I DONT THINK SO!!!!!

[@gericaccavale9637]

BTW she has no resemblance to poor little Cilla. Olivia DeJonge knocked it out of the park. Look so similar to Priscilla

[@PeaceNYC2011]

There is this thing called "make up" that can transform any actor to create resemblance. Pricilla was a teen when she met Elvis. Very shy young girl. Acting is evocative, not documentary-like. Pricilla always retreated from cameras as a very young woman, spoke quietly, til she left Elvis. She was quite overshadowed during those years. I believe the actress does a fine job. You appear to be overly invested in this and seeking a documentary; there are plenty of those.

[@gericaccavale9637]

Not a documenmtary just not a revenge movie distorted to fit sweet little(joke) Cilla No wonder Lisa Marie hadnt spoken to sweet Cilla inn YEARS!! ELVIS IS DEAD HE CANT RESPOND!!!@@PeaceNYC2011

[@gericaccavale9637]

Poor little soft spoken Caelly " my name is Priscilla Beaulieu". Thats not how poor little Cila talked. Little tiny Cila next to Big Beard Elordi. A joke,!!!

[@gericaccavale9637]

check on her activities in GermanyBEFORE ELVIS SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!

[@scsu5085]

--------------Pass on the new Prissy bio flick. Not because I'm an Elvis defender, but because of HER hierocracy. More of Prissy's self imposed victimhood. SHE consented, as did her parents, to living at Graceland in hopes of being Mrs Presley one day. She could have walked out at any time, no one held her back. Her parents could have recalled her back home, but didn't. They all were very content with the blessings of her living at Graceland & living the lavish lifestyle. Free Will is a wonderful thing, and she exercised it, as is evidence of staying there all those years. What did she expect from Elvis? To tame the King of Rock & Roll? Isn't that the very premise she complained about elvis, trying to change her to being what he wanted? And She complained of infidelity, lack of attention, etc BUT continued to stay until after she had a daughter.

[@evieelliott5036]

she was 14

[@marias2787]

She was 14. At 14 you don't consent to anything. You are a child. Her parents did consent and being a mother myself I could not believe how her parents could have been so irresponsible. By the way, I didn't like the film. Nothing in it I didn't know. I only got very angry at those greedy, irresponsible parents sending their daughter to a living hell!

The film wasn’t made for Elvis fans so I don’t think anyone cares if you boycott. A film solely about him came out a few years ago, maybe watch that instead :)

@@user-golden-rhapsody5915 You're free to watch it, I won't. The cast is terrible to me, the costumes seem taken from the 80s. But I mostly don't believe Priscilla's version of facts so to me is only garbage. But Coppola told that she didn't make it for Elvis's fans so I sure won't spend my money.

[@user-golden-rhapsody5915]

@@elvis78ale Coppola is just like Priscilla and that’s already an enormous red flag. She has a feminazi agenda to maintain, hence why she’s not including facts into the movie.

[@jessflint]

My question is : how dare you make a movie based on such a shamefull book "Elvis and me"? Elvis adored his mother, I'm really shoked by a video starting with anyone dedicating this shamefull movie (for Elvis) dedicating it to one's mother. What Elvis' mother would think about the book "Elvis and me" ? Sofia Coppola's movie is totally insane and shamefull.
