A24’s biopic centers Priscilla Beaulieu’s journey from thrilling teen courtship to tumultuous fame and fortune, with Jacob Elordi as Elvis Presley in a supporting role.


Now the second trailer, which dropped on Tuesday, aims to tell the true story of Priscilla’s journey from having a thrilling teenage crush to a turbulent marriage to Elvis.
The role earned Cailee Spaeny the best actress trophy in Venice Fest, where Coppola’s biopic debuted.
“I want a life of my own,” Priscilla says at one point in the second trailer, which focuses on private moments in their very public celebrity marriage. We also see her risking Elvis’ anger when she shows open opposition to being dolled up with black hair, swooping eyeliner and fake lashes.
“What do you mean you don’t know if you like it?” Jacob Elordi, who plays Elvis, asks his wife as he steps disapprovingly towards her, while his male friends and associates passively sit in the shadows.
Written and directed by Coppola, Priscilla is based on the 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, written by Presley and Sandra Harmon. The film was produced by Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment Pictures, a Fremantle Company; Coppola for American Zoetrope; and Youree Henley. The movie was financed by Fremantle Group and A24 will distribute in the U.S.
