00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600
Turns out Sophia Coppola's biopic
Priscilla won't feature any Elvis Presley

2
00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:07.590
music. In a joint interview
with the Hollywood reporter,

3
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:12.060
Priscilla Presley and Coppola revealed
that Elvis Presley Enterprises refused a

4
00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:15.150
request for permission to use the
king of rock and roll's music.

5
00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:19.860
Coppola said those who own Elvis's music
don't like projects that they haven't

6
00:00:19.860 --> 00:00:22.230
originated and they're
protective of their brand.

7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.330
But Coppola said she was able to pivot,

8
00:00:24.450 --> 00:00:26.910
seeing it as an opportunity
to be more creative.

9
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:30.990
The film instead will feature music from
Coppola's husband Thomas Mars and his

10
00:00:30.990 --> 00:00:32.490
band Phoenix Priscilla.

11
00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:35.940
Will also reportedly include a
cover of Frankie Avalon's Venus,

12
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:36.900
which could be cool.

13
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.230
We'll find out how Priscilla fares
without Elvis Presley's music win.

14
00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:44.040
The movie premieres at the
Venice International Film
Festival on September 4th.

15
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:48.450
Coppola's Priscilla is scheduled to
arrive in theaters on October 27th.
