Ellise Shafer SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Priscilla,” in theaters now. As the opening sequence of Sofia Coppola‘s biographical drama “Priscilla” unfolds, viewers meet a 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu (Cailee Spaeny) in 1959 West Germany to the tune of the Ramones’ 1980 hit “Baby, I Love You.” This time-bending choice may seem unexpected, but to those familiar with the work of Coppola — who famously soundtracked her 2006 historical film “Marie Antoinette” with the Strokes, Aphex Twin and the Cure — it won’t come as a surprise.

The burial location will be at the location closest to Elvis Presley without moving any existing gravesite,” reads the official settlement.As reported by Rolling Stone, the agreement has been confirmed in a probate court in Los Angeles County, and signed off by a judge, thereby avoiding a potentially long and costly legal battle.In addition, Priscilla is set to receive a $1 million (£810,000) payment from Lisa-Marie’s $25 million (£20.2 million) life insurance trust, as well as $100,000 a year for the next ten years for her services as “special advisor” to Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc.The settlement further states that Keough “agrees to use her best efforts to ask Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., or any successor thereof, not to pursue litigation against Priscilla related to her name, image and likeness.”The conflict between Priscilla and actor Keough arose around the sudden death of Lisa Marie Presley in January this year, which threw the inheritance of the Presley estate into question.
