Ridley Scott has committed to direct a film about the tumultuous Gucci family fashion dynasty and the murder of the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci. Lady Gaga is attached to star as Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci, who was tried and convicted of orchestrating her ex-husband’s assassination on the steps of his office in 1995. She served 18 years before being let out of jail in 2016.
It is the first project Lady Gaga has attached herself to since her Best Actress nomination in a breakout turn opposite Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born. She won an Oscar for writing the song Shallow, one of a number of hits on the soundtrack. The combination of actress and director is already starting to draw interest but the first stop will be Fox/Disney, where Scott Free has its first look, and where Scott will next direct The Last Duel, with Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer and Ben Affleck in a coproduction between Scott Free and Pearl Street.
The Gucci murder tale is scripted by Roberto Bentivegna, based on the Sara Gay Forden book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed. Scott plans to move quickly to direct the film after he first helms The Last Duel. He will produce the Gucci saga with Giannina Scott, and Scott Free Productions.

ReplyCopy URLNovember 1, 2019 at 12:30 pm #1203162091This will not bring her an academy award nomination. Lady Gaga was struggling while playing a fictional character, let’s not pretend she has the guts to play a real life person, as irrelevant as this person was/is. Didn’t Beyoncé play Etta James at some point lol!
Reminds me of how @Bee said A Star Is Born would mark the end of Gaga’s career and that she wouldn’t survive the flop that it would be, in that first ASIB thread we had (before the trailer was released).

He doesn’t have a stellar record of actresses being nominated for his films. It’s 3.
Not saying it won’t happen but there it is.

This would be his fourth film led by a woman though, if I recall correctly. One of them being Thelma & Louise. Not that it matters anyway, but so far the film looks promising.
