Sofia Coppola's Priscilla to release in Indian theatres on this date

Global film distributor MUBI and multiplex chain PVR INOX Pictures on Thursday announced that Sofia Coppola’s new film Priscilla will be released in theatres on December 15.

Based on Priscilla Presley's memoir, Elvis and Me, the upcoming film stars Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla Presley, while Jacob Elordi plays Elvis. 

The memoir talks about her relationship with the superstar singer, spanning her marriage, the birth of their daughter, the fights they had, and the eventual divorce until Elvis' death. Priscilla first met Elvis when she was 14 years old, serving in the German army in 1959. She moved to the United States and was married to him for a period of ten years until their divorce in 1973.  

The biopic has a script, which Sofia Coppola adapted from Priscilla Presley's memoir Elvis and Me. Distributed by A24, the film is produced by Sofia Coppola, Lorenzo Mieli, and Youree Henley. 

Apart from the leading duo, Priscilla also features Dagmara Domińczyk, Raine Monroe Boland, Emily Mitchell, Jorja Cadence, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, and Luke Humphrey.

The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and its North American premiere at the 61st New York Film Festival on October 6. 

Last month, PVR INOX Pictures and MUBI had announced a partnership for the film's release in India. As per the pact, the movie will be screened in theatres, followed by its streaming premiere on MUBI at a later date.
