The First Look At Cailee Spaeny And Jacob Elordi As Priscilla And Elvis Presley In The Movie "Priscilla" Just Dropped

“I just wish him all the best" — Austin Butler on Jacob Elordi.

The Sofia Coppola A24 flick is based on the biography Elvis and Me, written by the real-life Priscilla Presley with Sandra Harmon, and promises to tell the story of Priscilla and Elvis' courtship and marriage through the former's eyes.

So, for context, here's Cailee as a young Priscilla next to the real thing:

And here's Jacob Elordi as a young Elvis:

As we're still within sneezing distance of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis (2022), I thought it might be fun to cast an eye back to other people who have played the couple. Starting with Austin Butler and Olivia DeJonge in, you know, Elvis:

Warner Bros.

When asked about Jacob taking the helm of Elvis, Austin told Variety at the 2023 Golden Globes “I just wish him all the best. We haven’t spoken, but I hope he has a great time." Fun fact: This means that Kaia Gerber has dated two dudes who played Elvis.

Turns out Ashley Greene (of Twilight fame) played Priscilla in a 2016 fictional movie called Shangri la Suite:

Here are Antonia Bernath and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a promotional shot for a 2005 CBS miniseries, also called Elvis:

Susan Walters and Dale Midkiff played the couple in the 1988 TV movie based on Priscilla's memoir:

There's also a 1979 John Carpenter-directed Elvis, which starred Kurt Russell and Season Hubley:

Priscilla will be released some time in 2023.
