As a seasoned gamer and audiobook enthusiast with a penchant for captivating narratives, I am beyond excited about the upcoming audiobook of Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, “From Here to the Great Unknown.” The fact that Julia Roberts and Riley Keough are lending their voices to this project is nothing short of extraordinary.
It has been confirmed that Julia Roberts is set to narrate the audiobook for Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir titled From Here to the Great Unknown. This news was made public on Wednesday.
The actress is set to share narration duties with Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, who assisted in finishing the book after Elvis Presley’s passing.
Additionally, the audiobook includes exclusive excerpts straight from the private recordings that Elvis Presley made while preparing to pen her book, material never shared publicly before.
In a statement, Roberts expressed that he was profoundly touched by Lisa Marie’s remarkable memoir. He felt honored to bring her vibrant and stunning life narrative to light, and he sincerely thanked Riley for entrusting him with the telling of Lisa Marie’s mother’s story.
Keough expressed great excitement about having Julia join the team, as she reminded him of his mother’s voice. He could not imagine anyone better suited to help tell his mother’s story globally,” Keough stated.
Before Elvis Presley passed away in 2023, he requested Lisa Marie Keough’s assistance in completing his long-planned memoir. Following Elvis’ sudden demise, Lisa Marie listened to recordings that her mother had made for the book, which contained anecdotes about Graceland, her relationship with her mother, Priscilla Presley, life under public scrutiny, marriages to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, and the tragic loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, Riley’s brother.
Amanda D’Acierno, head of Penguin Random House audio’s global division, stated that Lisa Marie Presley’s unique memoir calls for a remarkable performer, and they are delighted that Julia Roberts is bringing her exceptional talents to this moving production. Julia’s performance adds a deep emotional layer to this touching tale of a mother-daughter relationship. Alongside Riley Keough’s narration and insights from Lisa Marie’s personal recordings, this audiobook promises to be a memorable journey for listeners.
Random House Audio will release the audiobook of From Here to the Great Unknown on Oct. 8.
