o into making a film and seeing how it all comes together,” she says. “I wanted to share some of that with anyone who may be interested in my work.” Coppola’s first post shows a well-worn copy of Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir, Elvis and Me, placed on top of some script pages from her forthcoming adaptation. Starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, Priscilla will chronicle Presley’s torrid, one-of-a-kind romance with the king of rock and roll. Born Priscilla Ann Wagner in 1945, she was only 14 when she caught the eye of a then 24-year-old Elvis Presley during his military service in Germany. The pair eventually got married in 1967 and had a daughter, Lisa Marie, before separating in 1972. It’s easy to see why Coppola would be drawn to interpreting her one-of-a-kind life for the screen.
“The hardest part of writing the script was just editing down so many incredible details from Priscilla’s memoir,” she says. “I was interested in trying to imagine what growing up in that world must have looked like through her eyes.” Currently prepping for Priscilla’s upcoming shoot in Toronto, Coppola took a quick break to chat with Vogue about joining Instagram, her favorite follows, meeting the former Mrs. Presley, and more. Sofia Coppola: I kinda like to exist in a bubble just for the sake of my own creativity. I don’t wanna get inundated with too many distractions. I’m a little bit weary about joining Instagram, but I love that it’s such a great source for archival images. There’s another part of it that’s all about self-promotion that’s not really my style. But with this new film I’m about to start, I thought it could be a fun way to share some of the stuff I’ve accumulated over the years for anyone interested in my work.
I’m pretty shy and don’t just wanna make it all about me. Part of the reason I like being a director is because it’s more outward. I much prefer being behind the camera, so I’m more interested in sharing what I’m working on. Also in the past year or so, I’ve been looking through all of my archives, and I thought it would be fun to share those materials in a way that feels more personal. I found a lot of BTS photos that I hadn’t revisited in a while. Back in the old days, we would take Polaroids during fittings, so there’s a lot of great shots of Kirsten and the girls from The Virgin Suicides. My mom and I found hundreds of hours of BTS footage that she shot during Marie Antoinette, and there’s still so much more from my other films that I have to look through. I hope it’ll be interesting for people who are interested in my work. My daughter Romy is about to turn 16, and she’s really into The Bling Ring right now, so it was fun to look back at that film and show her all the photos and videos we took during filming. I’ll have to send you a photo I found of me with all the girls in Paris Hilton’s closet.
I love the Richard Avedon Foundation and people like Penny Calder, who’s this Australian woman with a great collection of old Vogue magazines from the ’70s. I’m mostly excited to follow more photographers or people whose style I like. I love when friends send me photos of models from an ’80s Chanel show or some beautiful vintage photo of Tina Chow. It’s such a useful visual database in that sense. There’s so much oversharing now, and I still wanna retain some sense of privacy. I know I personally wouldn’t wanna know what my film heroes eat for breakfast everyday. I think there’s a fun way to let people in on what I’m doing without sharing that type of stuff. But who knows, maybe I’ll get so carried away and start acting out. Never say never!
Not really, but they’re sti
