From why she used “I Will Always Love You” to casting Cailee Spaeny, here are 11 things Sofia Coppola revealed to us about the making of ‘Priscilla.’
zeroed in on her artistic signatures early on: The very first shot in her debut as a director, the 1998 short film, shows a teenage girl staring pensively out a car window. She did it again with a shot of Kirsten Dunst in a taxi in,” Coppola says over a recent breakfast in a West Village café, “I was like, ‘Roman, can you get the girl out the window shot?’ So it kind of became a thing that we were looking to get, that shot motif.
“I thought it could be a counterpoint,” she says. “Someone was like, “Oh, is that gonna deter you?” And I said, “No, I think it’s even cooler that he’s in the culture and people are thinking of him and we can show the other side. She’s barely a character .singing “I Will Always Love You” in the film is an allusion to two bits of history — Elvis sang it to Priscilla on the day of their divorce.
“I really didn’t want to switch actresses,” says Coppola. “And my casting people told me about Cailee. And I when I met her she had such a baby face, so I figured she’s believable as younger, and then I figured she could do the older part because she really is in her twenties. And then I asked Kirsten Dunst, who had just worked with her, and she said she was really talented and loved working with her.
