Sofia Coppola – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Tue, 02 Jan 2024 09:59:35 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Sofia Coppola – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 WATCH: Priscilla Presley Breaks Down Scenes from ‘Priscilla’ https://www.geekfeed.com/priscilla-presley-on-scenes-from-priscilla/ Tue, 02 Jan 2024 09:59:35 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=80282 Last year may have seen Elvis Presley return to the spotlight with Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic, but this year sees the King of Rock and Roll’s wife Priscilla Presley getting to tell her story in A24’s Priscilla.

The movie has just become available for video on demand, and we have a new featurette of Presley actually talking about scenes from the movie and how she felt around the time. Watch this:

The film had earned mostly positive reviews, what with the spotlight finally being given to someone else who was so closely tied to the story of Elvis Presley. A lot of fans do like to point out that Priscilla was only a 14-year-old when she met Presley, and the movie doesn’t hold back when showing just how different the two were; even the height difference can feel disturbing.

Despite the critical praise, there are also some that think that the film shines a poor light on Elvis, who has a very loyal fanbase to this day. Despite this, I think that Priscilla’s story still deserves to be said, and it’s an interesting look into the toxicity that fame and first love can bring to a relationship.

The official synopsis for the movie reads:

When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend. Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.

Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla is now available for video on demand.

Watch Behind-The-Scenes Look at A24’s Priscilla https://www.geekfeed.com/watch-behind-the-scenes-look-at-a24s-priscilla/ Mon, 16 Oct 2023 14:34:07 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79217 Elvis Presley got the spotlight again with last year’s Elvis film from Baz Luhrmann, but A24 is going a different direction with the King’s story with their upcoming movie with Sofia Coppola—Priscilla.

The film is set to come to theaters this November, and we have a new behind-the-scenes look with Coppola and Priscilla Presley herself. Watch this:

When I read Priscilla’s memoir, I was just struck with what an unusual, wild her life has been,” says Coppola.

Though their romance was kind of watered down for the Elvis film, this movie is set to really embrace just how absurd the notion is of a 14-year-old Priscilla somehow finding herself as the would-be wife of one of the biggest icons of the US at the time—who was 24 when they met.

Butler’s Elvis may have been played in a more sympathetic light for his picture, but it’s very likely that this movie is going to have Elvis be more of a sinister presence in Priscilla’s story. I mean, why else would they cast Jacob Elordi, arguably the toxic boyfriend of the decade, to play the King of Rock and Roll?

With Coppola’s reputation as a filmmaker, a lot of fans are excited to see how she’s going to be presenting this story, what with her teaming up with A24. After the success of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie earlier this year, 2023 is coming out great for feminist movie lovers.

Watch out for Priscilla when the film comes out on Nov. 3.

Priscilla Trailer Shines Different Light on the ElvisxPriscilla Romance https://www.geekfeed.com/priscilla-shines-light-on-the-elvis-romance/ Thu, 05 Oct 2023 09:37:28 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=79023 Audiences were wowed last year when Austin Butler acted his heart out for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, but now director Sofia Coppola is looking to tell the same kind of story from a different angle with the film Priscilla.

Watch the new trailer here starring Cailee Spaeny (Mare of Easttown) and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria):

The official synopsis for the movie reads:

When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend. Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.

Though the Elvis movie had portrayed the romance of Priscilla and Elvis as nicely as they could, they did leave out some very key details—specifically the fact that Priscilla was only 14 when she met 24-year-old Elvis Presley.

With the Elvis biopic pretty much focusing on the story of the King of Rock and Roll, it’s going to be interesting to see what kind of film Sofia Coppola is going to deliver with the lens now through Priscilla’s eyes.

I also have to say kudos to Jacob Elordi who plays Elvis pretty well in the trailer; sure he could add a few pounds, but everyone is already commending him for his accent and secretly threatening vibe. What else would you expect from one of the most toxic characters in Euphoria?

Watch out for Priscilla when the film comes to cinemas on Nov. 3.
