“I’ve seen Elvis the film, I watched the trailer over a dozen times. But the words I heard from my daughter on how much she loved the film and that Riley (Lisa Marie’s daughter) will love it too when she sees it brought tears,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing a clip of the trailer.

“I relived every moment in this film. It took me a few days to overcome the emotions as it did with Lisa. Beautifully done Baz, Tom, Austin, and Olivia,” Priscilla shared.

Fans of the music legend have shared their excitement to finally see the movie, and even more after seeing Austin Butler, who portrays Elvis in the upcoming biopic, walking the red carpet of the 2022 Met Gala with Priscilla.

The film is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this month and will be released worldwide in theaters in late June. This is also not the first time Priscilla shares her thoughts on the film, previously describing Austin’s performance as “outstanding” and praising Tom Hanks for embodying the role of Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

“It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered,” Priscilla wrote.
