ELVIS' LEGACY DESTROYED!

A new film is shedding an unfavourable light on the King

- 

Elvis Presley's life is about to hit the big screen once again in Sofia Coppola's upcoming biopic Priscilla. But this new take on the legendary singer's life couldn't be more different to Baz Luhrmann's recent hit Elvis - and granddaughter Riley Keough is "not coping at all".

Leaked emails reveal her late mother Lisa Marie Presley was unhappy about the movie, calling the script "shockingly vengeful and contemptuous" and revealing how she feared the retelling of her parents' meeting when Elvis was 24 and Priscilla just 14.

In messages sent four months before her death, Lisa said she did not understand Sofia's "need to attempt to take my father down on the heels of such an incredible film using the excuse that you are trying to tell my mother's story, but from your very dark and jaded reality."

She added, "My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative. As his daughter, I don't read and see any of my father in this character." 

As revelations continue to come to light, it has been revealed that Priscilla had been working with Sofia in secret, supporting the movie.
