Why Is There No Elvis Presley Music in 'Priscilla'? Answer & Explanation Revealed
05.11.2023 - 19:47 / justjared.com
If you’ve seen the new film Priscilla, you’ve likely noticed there were no Elvis Presley songs in it, despite him being a big part of the story.
The movie of course is based on Priscilla Presley‘s memoir “Elvis and Me,” where she talks about meeting Elvis, their marriage, and the factors and issues that led to the couple’s divorce.

“So much of the music that we landed on was born out of Sofia’s instincts, and some songs were particularly important to Priscilla herself that we learned about from the memoir or from Sofia’s conversations that she had with Priscilla,” Randall shared with Variety.
He notes that they did try to get the rights to include Elvis‘ music, but it ultimately did not work out.

While Randall says the family was supportive, it was previously said that the late singer’s estate was not happy about the film. His late daughter Lisa Marie Presley, who passed away earlier this year, was also not a fan of director Sofia Coppola‘s script.
“At first, we expected to have some of Elvis’ music, but we didn’t get anything,” musician Thomas Mars, who also worked on the soundtrack, shared. “Ultimately, I think it’s better, but it was very stressful for a certain time. Jacob looks incredibly convincing and he’s very handsome, so it’s very easy to realize why [Priscilla] is doing this, but [Elvis was] such a great performer and musician that without his
‘Priscilla’ Star Cailee Spaeny On Spending “Precious Moments” With The First Lady Of Rock ‘n’ Roll & Connecting With Fellow “Nerd” Jacob Elordi
When Cailee Spaeny was 13 she reached a crossroads: she could carry on the way she was going or walk away from a normal life forever. Quitting high school to become an actor might not work out, she knew that, but Spaeny took the hard road; the exciting and risky one. And such was the choice the teenage Priscilla Presley made in 1963, leaving her family stationed in Germany to move in with Elvis at his home. Graceland, under the protective care of the singer’s father, Vernon. So, when Spaeny was cast in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, perhaps the two women, actor and subject, had more in common than they knew.

Ellise Shafer SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Priscilla,” in theaters now.

The burial location will be at the location closest to Elvis Presley without moving any existing gravesite,” reads the official settlement.As reported by Rolling Stone, the agreement has been confirmed in a probate court in Los Angeles County, and signed off by a judge, thereby avoiding a potentially long and costly legal battle.In addition, Priscilla is set to receive a $1 million (£810,000) payment from Lisa-Marie’s $25 million (£20.2 million) life insurance trust, as well as $100,000 a year for the next ten years for her services as “special advisor” to Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc.The settlement further states that Keough “agrees to use her best efforts to ask Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., or any successor thereof, not to pursue litigation against Priscilla related to her name, image and likeness.”The conflict between Priscilla and actor Keough arose around the sudden death of Lisa Marie Presley in January this year, which threw the inheritance of the Presley estate into question.
