The feature film starring Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi as Elvis Presley and rising actress Cailee Spaeny as his wife, Priscilla Presley, a casting that’s been praised by internet users for its accuracy. The movie generated a lot of speculation about what aspects of the relationship the biopic was going to show, since it’s common knowledge that Elvis had misogynistic views on marriage and women.
All rumors have been cleared, and internet users were eager to learn, through the trailer, that the movie will include the abusive aspect of Elvis and Priscilla’s relationship, to make it more historically accurate and showcase the relationship in depth, including the ugly parts.
The full length film will be released in theaters on November 3rd, 46 years after the singer’s passing in 1977.
This is the second movie about Elvis’s life in a row, after ‘Elvis’ in 2022, starring Austin Butler, which chronicled the career of the singer on its earliest stages, showcasing him as a talented young ‘black sounding’ white guy, with charisma and sex appeal, a totally different side of the story in comparison to the upcoming ‘PRISCILLA’, which is set to depict him as a chauvinist and an abuser.
The movie will also tap on the controversial age gap between the two lovers: Priscilla was 14 years old when she met Elvis, who was 24 at the time, and was a successful singer already, and was already being called the King of Rock & Roll.
The general public has reacted positively to the trailer of the movie, with most people excited to see a different and rarely seen side of Elvis through the eyes of his wife. There are a lot of aspects to their relationship that were controversial, so the movie will surely flip the conversation about the music star and the legacy he left.
