JAKARTA - The film Priscilla directed by Sofia Coppola is the latest story for the Presley family to be brought into the big screen. Mesk so, it was revealed that this film would not contain a single Elvis Presley song. What's wrong?

Through a recent interview, Sofia Coppola as the director confirmed the news. The company, which holds the right to the Elvis Presley music catalog, rejected their involvement in the film produced by A24.

"They don't like projects made not from them originally, and they are very protective of their brands," Sofia Coppola told THR.

"But it makes us even more creative," he continued.

Elvis Presley Enterprises, which is part of the property, has 85 percent of the right to the Authentic Brands Group consisting of Graceland and its music catalog. While 15 percent is owned by the Presley family.

Sofia Coppola outsmarted the use of music by inviting the Phoenix band fronted by her husband, Thomas Mars. Phoenix will sing several classic songs to complete Priscilla's story.

On the other hand, the Elvis film, which was released in 2022, received permission to use the Elvis Presley song. This is also related to the Elvis Presley family who are involved in the production process of this film.

Previously, when the teaser for the film Priscilla was released, the company Elvis Presley admitted that he did not know that Priscilla's film was made. A source also said Graceland's appearance in the teaser did not match the original.

On the other hand, Priscilla Presley, who knew about the film, actually shared her happiness through social media.

I am enthusiastic about my book interpretation from the master Sofia Coppola. He has an extraordinary perspective and I always admire his work. I believe this film will make everyone feel an emotional journey, "wrote Priscilla Presley who also serves as a producer.

Priscilla's film was adapted from Priscilla Presley's memoir entitled Elvis and Me. Priscilla tells the story of a woman named Priscilla Beaulieu who meets Elvis Presley at a party. Elvis's figure who has become a superstar turned out to be a fun man when he was with Priscilla.

Priscilla's film is scheduled to air in October theatrically.
