Baz, who’s the top juror on the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the place ‘Priscilla’ is screening, advised The Hollywood Reporter: “[Sofia is] a really good friend. I haven’t seen the film, I’ve just been so busy. But I’m dying to see it.

“Unfortunately, folks suppose festivals are glamorous, however I’ll be watching three movies a day in a darkish room. That’s what I’m going to be doing. But I’ll see Priscilla in some unspecified time in the future, consider you me!”

And, Baz has no points with the 2 films being launched so shut collectively.

He stated: “Elvis’ life was so big in such a short time and is such an important part of the fabric of contemporary culture. But he has been somewhat removed from it. He’s sort of been turned into wallpaper and a joke. But all it does is say, if you want to look at the modern American epoch from the ’50s on, you can’t not look at the canvas of Elvis Presley’s life.

“I’m certain there’ll be many extra movies about Elvis and Priscilla advised with different characters and advised from very totally different factors of view. Because it simply proves the validity of the story by way of tradition in America.”
