New biopic based on Prissy's Elvis & Me book. I wonder if there'll be any hint of The Jenna Wade Years.

There goes Priscilla´s ego again... Maybe the baby she had was Brad Pitt´s so she stole her fictional daughter´s boyfriend and had a fling at the hayloft... The possibilities...

The Jenna Wade years! I'd rather forget about them than be reminded of them. I don't want to watch this anyway otherwise I might start screaming!

I’d watch this simply to see how they portray the interactions between Elvis and a young Naldo Marchetta

So they got Jock Ewing to play Elvis!
I'm sorry everyone but I don't want to watch this version either!

It would seem not, if the end of this elegantly written review is any indication:
The seventies arrive, and across one swift cut, with infant Lisa Marie in her arms, Priscilla’s beehive — so enormous it could house an entire apian colony — collapses into waves hanging loose around her shoulders. Free your hair and your mind will follow: the days are numbered for the marriage, just as the clock runs down on the movie — Coppola is far more interested in captivity than release. And so the whole of the gently heartsore Priscilla plays like a letter of drawn-out, loving goodbye, written in painstaking cursive on scented paper and sealed with a chaste, cherry lipgloss kiss.
Priscilla review: a heartsore biopic
Through dreamlike montages and interludes, Sofia Coppola explores how Priscilla Presley got swept up in the madness of Elvis’s global fame as a young schoolgirl.

The film as a whole sounds really interesting

I'm sorry again but this film would bore the pants off me!
To anyone who wants to see it just remember that she played the character of Jane far better in the Naked Gun movies.
As to her role in Dallas she just exuded mahogany, that's right she was wooden!

which I’ve always assumed was an intentional piss-take on her wooden acting on Dallas (did she have any other prominent acting roles prior to the Naked Gun?), and she would have been in on the joke.

So has anyone watched this movie?
I watched it a couple of weeks ago and I liked it. Although to be honest I preferred the original version from 1988 more.
I think this version was very much a product of it's time and it had a modern point of view of Priscilla's life with Elvis which didn't really serve the story well.
Another interesting fact in both versions the casting doesn't reflect Priscilla and Elvis age gap. They were ten years apart but in the 1988 version the actors are 4 years apart and in the new version they are just one year apart.
