'Elvis' Did Not Include THIS Elvis Presley's Dark Side Seen on 'Priscilla' Trailer

Priscilla Presley's biographical drama film, "Priscilla," will share the creepy side of Elvis Presley that Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" did not portray.

Sofia Coppola started working on "Priscilla" based on Priscilla's 1985 memoir, "Elvis and Me," which explores Priscilla and Elvis' lives. The film was released on September 4 at the 80^th Venice International Film Festival prior to the worldwide distribution.

In the trailer, eagle-eyed fans noticed a shocking detail about the late rocker.

Elvis Presley's Creepy Side Explained

On A24's official YouTube channel, the distributor unveiled an over one-and-a-half-minute preview of the film, sharing what viewers can expect from the flick.

While "Elvis" mostly highlights the "Can't Help Falling in Love" singer's success, the "Priscilla" trailer takes a different approach by showing Elvis' controlling behavior and the controversial age gap they had.

For what it's worth, Priscilla was only 14 when she met Elvis, and they started seeing each other afterward.

This mirrored what Lisa Marie Presley's mother told Variety in an interview this year, saying that the biographical film shows more of what the eyes can see of Elvis.

"It was a different time," she said. "I lived in his world. I wanted to please him. I wanted to fit in. I wanted to have fun with him. I wanted to see what it was that he liked."

"Priscilla" tapped "Bad Times at the El Royale" actor Cailee Spaeny and "Euphoria" and "The Kissing Booth" star Jacob Elordi for the main roles.

It will arrive in theaters on November 3. "Priscilla" will not include any of Elvis' songs after his estate rejected Coppola's request since they are protective of the brand.

During a post-screening Q&A, costume designer Stacey Battat applauded Elordi and Spaeny for being dedicated to their movie outfits and for their efforts in perfecting their roles by leaning on each other during research.

"We were pretty dorky about the whole thing," Elordi said, per USA Today. "I'd say, 'What year is this?' And she would pull out a script, and she would have every single thing catalogued to the year."

Sofia Coppola dedicated the film to her filmmaker mother, Eleanor. She followed in her parents footsteps through her directorial debut in 1999, "The Virgin Suicides."
