(Yβall when I tell you iβm going to write for that manβ¦)
'you never read anymore, you used to love reading' and i have 200 safari tabs open. it never stopped it just got weird
Just thought I would share some photos of my two favourite guys together. I absolutely love their relationship and everything they do. Sorry for the terrible quality of some of the picsπ€π€
Thatβs our baby boy
go baby go!
So since Elvis fans are discussing the new announcementβ¦I guess Iβll talk about it
So for those who donβt know, it was announced that Sofia Coppola, acclaimed filmmaker and one that I actually kinda like, is making a bio-pic about Priscilla Presley, specifically about her memoir Elvis and Me (which is a great read btw).
But not only that, but casted in the role of Elvis is Jacob Elordi who dated Kaia Gerber who is currently dating Austin.
Thatβs the most I will ever talk about celebrity news.
Okay.
I love Sofiaβs work. I think sheβs a great filmmaker and I would love to see how sheβd adapt the book with her style.
However.
The movie wonβt be out for a while. Casting announcement means this thing is probably well into pre-production. And a big budget Hollywood bio-pic from a critically acclaimed director that will want to be an awards contender, wonβt be out for a while. The guess being thrown around in the fandom is 2024.
However.
The casting announcement coming out practically three months after Elvis (2022)βs release while weβre still riding the high, and even the movie itself, feels like a deliberate cash grab to capitalize on all this new Elvis hype.
And that must suck for Austin and Jacob who are now going to be pitted against each other and constantly compared.
But also yeah. Austin worked his ass off for this role and now someone else is riding his high. That must be unfair.
And yeah. Iβm not sure how Priscilla and Lisa Marie will take to this.
Idk how the book rights work with this whole thing. Like idk if Priscilla owns the book rights but the vibe Iβm getting is she wasnβt consulted and I have no clue how true that is. But Elvis (2022) was the most accurate film on Elvisβs life and it was the one the family was the most happy with. So this does feel a little insulting that this announcement is riding the high of a film that was truly a passion project for those involved.
So what are my thoughts?
I donβt know dude. On one hand, Iβm interested in another version of this story especially done by another pretty great filmmaker. But on the other, it feels so cash grabby and like a PR stunt. Like Jacob being cast is not a coincidence. And I donβt want to compare the two, even though I think Austin is probably going to be the better of the two
Weβll see what happens but yeah this whole thing does leave a bad taste in my mouth
This is only the beginning for Austin. I wish him much success with his upcoming projects and carrying on with his career. He was nominated and that was bigger than he could ever imagine.
