Priscilla stars Cailee Spaeny & Jacob Elordi discuss bringing hidden sides of Elvis and Priscilla to light, and the music that helped them on set.
Summary Sofia Coppola's latest movie, Priscilla, arrives after a year filled with Elvis scrutiny and holds a mirror up to the beloved Rock and Roll icon. Based on Priscilla Presley's memoir, Elvis and Me, the film spans a decade of her life from her first meeting with Elvis in Germany at 14 to the dissolution of her marriage at 24. The surviving Presley participated in the movie as executive producer, lending an air of authenticity to its depiction of her experience.
Cailee Spaeny & Jacob Elordi Talk Priscilla Screen Rant: I love Priscilla. Cailee, the costumes and makeup did an incredible job at differentiating Priscilla for different stages, but so much of it was your performance. How did you approach her at different ages in that decade? Jacob Elordi: Well, her book paints the picture so clearly, and then it's very easy to go do the external work outside of Priscilla because there's so much information on Elvis. But it was always her kind of gaze and her perspective, and Sofia had a way of making sure you were always looking through that lens. So, it was just my pleasure to be able to do that; to be in service of that.
Cailee Spaeny: Well, Sofia used music a lot while we were filming. It's such a key part of her storytelling, but she uses it the whole time while making the movie. So it was always these sort of magical moments coming in with a new costume, about to do a new scene, and we'd be in this gorgeous set and then she'd start playing some amazing song.
