Preparing to play one of the most iconic couples in music history comes with a fair amount of pressure, as Priscilla’s lead Cailee Spaeny knows all too well. Add to this the tight shooting schedules and limited budget of Sofia Coppola’s biopic charting Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s marriage, and the challenge only grows.
As a result, Spaeny tells GamesRadar+, she went to some unusual lengths with her co-star Jacob Elordi to make sure she was ready in the months leading to filming. "When I found out that Jacob was doing it, I got in touch with him right away over email and said, 'I'm so keen to work with you. If you are open to it, I'd love to meet' and he was," she explains of that preparation period.
