Ridley Scott and Angelina Jolie are discussing a possible role for Jolie in a film about the Gucci family.
Ridley Scott and Angelina Jolie are in the middle of discussions about a possible role for Jolie as Patrizia Reggiano, a member of the Gucci dynasty who was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting to murder her husband Maurizio Gucci.
Scott’s film will be about the glory days of the Gucci family in the 70’s and 80’s. During these years, family rivalries and power struggles took over the Gucci clan and resulted in the murder of Maurizio Gucci in 1995.
Fox 2000 is currently hiring someone to rewrite the drama but has set a release date in 2010. The studio is also trying to lock down an actor for the role of Maurizio. Scott has approached Leonardo DiCaprio about the film but nothing is definite as of yet.
