Ahead of its world premiere in competition at the 80th Venice Film Festival, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, a biopic which follows the Presleys from the perspective of the King’s young bride, has secured a SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement.
While this is another A24 feature production to nab an interim agreement, the film gets a clearance by SAG-AFTRA due to the fact that the movie was shot in Canada under the production company TCB Productions Canada.
The SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement allows its cast, which includes Jacob Elordi as Elvis and Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, to do press and appear at the Venice Film Festival, should they wish.
Coppola will be attending Venice under the provisions of her DGA contract, alongside Priscilla Presley.
Coppola adapted Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me.
Priscilla also stars Raine Monroe Boland, Emily Mitchell, Dagmara Domińczyk, Jorja Cadence, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, and Luke Humphrey.
Priscilla is produced by Lorenzo Mieli, Coppola, and Youree Henley. EPs are Roman Coppola, Chris Hatcher, Fred Roos and Presley.
Priscilla hits theaters on October 27 from A24.
Mubi has acquired rights across multiple territories for Priscilla.
