Sofia Coppola turns her lens on an American icon: Priscilla Presley

I'll give it a watch as long as it doesn't paint her as some kind of victim of male toxicity™.

I wouldn't watch it then. It might upset you.

his controlling and sometimes volatile behavior, dictating exactly what she looked like, what she was allowed to do and whom she was allowed to spend time with

Sounds pretty toxic to me.

This has been done before in a TV miniseries in 1988, based on a written account by Priscilla herself. Extending those Famous Fifteen Minutes.

Why not make it again, you may not like it, but there might be a whole new generation of people that might want to see it. It just depends on whether the people want to see something new or maybe some want to hold onto the old series, too early to tell. Look how many times they re-made Batman and still regardless, the movies and each new leading actor always make money, she should try, I'm personally not interested, but that doesn't mean others will.

A few years ago I won a free movie pass at an 'art film' cinema and I used it to see a 50th anniversary digitally remade/remodeled/rereleased of the Beatles movie classic 'Yellow Submarine' and there were people of several generations seeing it, incl. young mommies with little children. That's the way to do it. God forbid that a film like that could/would ever be remade. And God forbid that it should ever redone with live actors.

Look how many times they re-made Batman and still regardless, the movies and each new leading actor always make money, she should try, I'm personally not interested, but that doesn't mean others will.

And the 1992 Batman movie was sadistic banal crap. It got downhill from there. Some things should just be left alone, Let It Be. And those DC/Marvel movies with the teenage 'superhero'/superwimps are awesome only gor their monstrously all-out flat out suckability. Even some teens think they're garbage. And they are.

When I saw the 40th anniversary rerelease of 'Stop Making Sense' (Talking Heads!), it was 'better than it ever was'. What did the previews show for 35 minutes before? Oh yes, on Christmas Day you can waste your time and money watching a remade 'Color Purple'. And Taylor Swift's film. And some other junk that'll be forgotten next year. Rubbish.

Thanks but no thanks, Sofia.
