Elvis is back in the building. A little more than a year after Elvis, Baz Luhrmann's epic biopic of the music icon, became one of the biggest movies of 2022, Sofia Coppola brings Elvis back to the screen, but this time as a supporting character in her new movie Priscilla. But with the two movies releasing about 17 months apart, what differences can audiences expect?
"Baz and I… we approach filmmaking so differently that I feel there was space," Coppola said at a virtual press conference attended by What to Watch. "His [movie] was really, I think, about Elvis as the performer, outward, and I feel [Priscilla] is really kind of the flipside of Priscilla's story and looking at him in a more intimate way, their private life. … the scale of it is done in a more intimate way.”
