Hollywood director Sofia Coppola has revealed that singer Lana Del Rey was nearly featured on the soundtrack of the biopic 바카라˜Priscilla바카라™.

In an interview with E! News, the filmmaker said, 바카라œWe were hoping she could do a song for it, but it didn바카라™t work out with the timing.바카라

Coppola, whose movie 바카라˜Priscilla바카라™ is currently playing in theatres, went on to add that she first learned about fans바카라™ correlation between Del Rey and the King of Rock and Roll while filming 바카라˜Priscilla바카라™.

She said, 바카라œI바카라™m learning that people really connect Lana Del Rey and Priscilla and I didn바카라™t realise that, but I got a lot of requests with, 바카라˜How is she gonna be a part of the movie?바카라™바카라

Del Rey has been known to be a longtime fan of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, and even embodied Priscilla throughout her music career, often sporting big hair and over-exaggerated eyeliner, which was popular in the 바카라™60s.

The 바카라˜Young and Beautiful바카라™ singer has also referenced the music legend in some of her lyrics, including the line 바카라œElvis is my daddy바카라 in her song 바카라˜Body Electric바카라™. Her 2008 demo called 바카라˜Elvis바카라™ was also featured in Eugene Jarecki바카라™s Elvis documentary, 바카라˜The King바카라™, which was released in 2017.

바카라œCoppola added that she invited the Grammy-nominated singer to the premiere of Priscilla and though she couldn바카라™t attend, the director is 바카라œexcited for her to see it.바카라

The film, based on Priscilla바카라™s memoir Elvis and Me, follows the love story between Elvis and Priscilla, told from her perspective, from when they first met in 1959 to their later marriage. But the movie doesn바카라™t include music from the rock 바카라˜n바카라™ roll icon because his estate didn바카라™t accept Coppola바카라™s offer for the rights to the music.

바카라œThey don바카라™t like projects that haven't originated, and they바카라™re protective of their brand,바카라 Coppola told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year. 바카라œBut that made us be more creative.바카라

Although the late Lisa Marie Presley, who was the only child of Elvis and Priscilla, seemingly did not approve of the way her dad was depicted in Coppola바카라™s script, Priscilla was moved by the project.

바카라˜Priscilla바카라™, starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, is currently playing in theaters.
