‘Euphoria’ star Jacob Elordi cast as Elvis Presley
JACOB Elordi and Cailee Spaney have reportedly been cast in Priscilla.
The duo are said to be lined up to play Elvis Presley and his ex-wife Priscilla in an upcoming big-screen adaptation of her memoir Elvis and Me.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola has signed up to direct and write the movie , Priscilla.
The film is set to be shot in Toronto, Canada this autumn, and Coppola will reunite with long-time collaborators for the project, including production designer Tamara Deverell, costume designer Stacey Battat, editor Sarah Flack and cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd.
In her 1985 memoir, Priscilla, who co-wrote the book with Sandra Harmon, told her side of her marriage to the late King of Rock and Roll.
Although most depictions of the Suspicious Minds icon paint him in a more positive light, the book is a more candid depiction from her point of view.
The book covers their relationship from when they first met, when Priscilla was 14 and he was 24, to their later divorce.
Euphoria star Elordi becomes the second actor to play Elvis recently after Austin Butler this year took on the role in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic drama. Priscila was played by Olivia Dejonge in the film.
