With “Priscilla” now playing across the country, the filmmaker spoke to Vogue about recreating Graceland in Toronto, finding the right actors to bring pop culture icons to life, and showing the film to Priscilla Presley herself for the first time.
In a way, Priscilla feels like a culmination of everything Sofia Coppola has learned across 25 years of filmmaking. Based on Priscilla Presley’s best-selling memoir Elvis & Me, the film begins in 1959, when she was a 14-year old schoolgirl named Priscilla Beaulieu . When she first meets Elvis Presley at the U.S. Air Force base in Germany where both he and her father are stationed, the 24-year old musician is already a global superstar.
I would imagine having a smaller budget would force you to get creative in some ways that might benefit a film versus having $200 million at your disposal. Good things can come out of it because you have to get more creative. I had to cut something like 10 pages of the Priscilla script right before filming because we lost a week of production. That was really hard at the time but it made me really have to focus on what elements were most important to the story.
