Sofia Coppola reveals that EPE rejected the use of Elvis Presley’s music.
The film, written and directed by Coppola, it will not include Elvis songs as EPE disapproved of their use in the film.
Coppola contacted Elvis Presley Enterprises, which is majority owned by the Authentic Brands Group (85%) with the Presley family (15%).
“…they don’t like projects that aren’t theirs,” Coppola told The Hollywood Reporter of EPE, “…but that made us more creative.”
To note, Baz Luhrmann’s Oscar-nominated “Elvis” used EPE-approved Elvis Presley music.
“Priscilla” is adapted from Priscilla Presley’s memoir “Elvis And Me.” Cailee Spaeny stars as Priscilla, with Jacob Elordi as Elvis. Priscilla is an executive producer on the film, which was made for less than $20,000,000. The film will premiere at the Venice Film Festival and then on screen as the centerpiece selection for the New York Film Festival.
An EPE official told TMZ that Coppola’s view of Graceland is inaccurate, calling the film “…a college movie.”
The unnamed source said: “…the set designs are just awful, not what you see at Graceland.”
