Lisa Marie Presley was, by all accounts, proudly supportive of Elvis , director Baz Luhrmanns 2022 biopic about her father, Elvis Presley. But she appears to have had a considerably different take on Sofia Coppolas Priscilla , which zooms in on the life of her mother, Priscilla Presley.

On Thursday, Variety published excerpts of two emails purportedly sent by Lisa Marie Presley to Coppola 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 scripts portrayal of her legendary father, who died in 1977 at age 42.

My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative, she wrote. As his daughter, I dont read this and see any of my father in this character. I dont read this and see my mothers perspective of my father. I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I dont understand why?
