variety.comAngelique Jackson Priscilla Beaulieu Presley’s 1985 bestselling memoir “Elvis and Me” is set to get the big screen treatment, courtesy of Sofia Coppola.
Coppola wrote and will direct the feature film, titled “Priscilla,” with Cailee Spaeny (“Mare of Easttown,” “Bad Times at the El Royale”) attached to star as Presley and Jacob Elordi (“Euphoria,” “Saltburn”) as Elvis.
The film will shoot in Toronto this fall. A24 will distribute the project in North America, with Vision Distribution handling distribution in Italy — where it will later become a Sky exclusive.
Stage 6 Films/Sony Pictures International Releasing will distribute in the rest of the world. “Priscilla” marks the third collaboration between Coppola and A24, following “On the Rocks” and “The Bling Ring.” The partners are also in development on a series adaptation of Edith Wharton’s “The Custom of the Country.” For the project, Coppola will also reteam with her longtime collaborators, including cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd costume designer Stacey Battat, editor Sarah Flack and production designer Tamara Deverell.
