Priscilla Presley is getting the Sofia Coppola treatment

“I was just so interested in Priscilla’s story and her perspective on what it all felt like to grow up as a teenager in Graceland. She was going through all the stages of young womanhood in such an amplified world – kinda similarly to Marie Antoinette.”
