Lisa Marie Presley’s Concerns Over Priscilla Film Script: Impact and Caution

Lisa Marie Presley expressed her concerns to director Sofia Coppola regarding the script of a new film centered around her mother Priscilla and her relationship with Elvis Presley. Lisa Marie disagreed with the portrayal of her father as “a predator and manipulative,” fearing that it did not reflect her own perspective of him. She also worried about the potential public perception of Elvis when the film was released, as her mother, Priscilla, supported the project. The film, titled “Priscilla,” is based on Priscilla’s memoir “Elvis and Me.” While Lisa Marie threatened to speak out against the film and her mother’s involvement, Priscilla maintains that the portrayal is accurate and that Sofia Coppola approached the subject with sensitivity and complexity, backed by extensive research. Despite the disagreement within the Presley family, the film has been released in the US and is set to reach UK cinemas in January. The tragic passing of Lisa Marie Presley at the age of 54 due to a cardiac arrest unrelated to the film adds a poignant element to the discussion. As the controversy surrounding the film continues, it is essential to consider the impact on public perception and to respect the different perspectives of those involved.
