June - September 2022: Lisa Marie Presley publicly supports Baz Luhrmann “Elvis” biopic; is furious about Sophia Coppola’s representation of her father in her up-coming “Priscilla” film (endorsed by her mother)
“Not much else aside from my other 3 children gets my time and attention anymore," Presley wrote, noting that she did, however, take the time to watch Elvis twice, calling the film "nothing short of spectacular. Austin Butler channeled and embodied my father’s heart and soul beautifully. In my humble opinion, his performance is unprecedented and FINALLY done accurately and respectfully. (If he doesn’t get an Oscar for this, I will eat my own foot, haha.)," Lisa Marie continued, adding that the film is something that she and her family -- including daughter Riley Keough and 13-year-old twins Harper and Finley “can be proud of forever," as they remember the rock 'n' roll legend.
"You can feel and witness Baz’s pure love, care, and respect for my father throughout this beautiful film," she stated. "What moved me to tears as well was watching Riley and Harper, and Finley afterwards, all 3 visibly overwhelmed in the best way possible way, and so filled with pride about their grandfather and his legacy in a way that I have not previously experienced."

“On Thursday, Variety published excerpts of two emails purportedly sent by Lisa Marie Presley to the direcor last year in which she blasts the Priscilla script as "shockingly vengeful" and "very dark and jaded", while urging the Oscar-winning filmmaker to abandon the project.
Among the specific points that Lisa Marie Presley took issue with was the script's portrayal of her famous father, who died in 1977 at age 42. "My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative," she wrote. “As his daughter, I don't read this and see any of my father in this character. I don't read this and see my mother's perspective of my father. I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I don’t understand why?” […] She also pledged to “go against you, my mother and this film publicly” by the time “Priscilla” hit the big screen, even though production had not yet begun at the time.”
