Angelina Jolie in Talks for Gucci Role

October 20, 2009

Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in director Ridley Scott's Gucci, which will chronicle the wild and glamorous story of the Gucci family in the 1970s and '80s, when its 153 shops moved $500 million in product annually.

The catalyst will be Maurizio Gucci, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci who emerged as the unlikely winner of a bloody power struggle to run the family business. Just when Maurizio was on the verge of his greatest success -- a daring fashion show debuting the clothes of newcomer Tom Ford -- his penchant for accumulating enemies caught up with him; Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995.

Jolie would play Patrizia Reggiano, who was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio.

20th Century Fox is eying a 2010 start for the film. Scott has reportedly approached Leonardo DiCaprio for the role of Maurizio, but he is not signed at this point.

From everything I've read over the past five months, Ridley Scott has about 203 movies lined up to do.

Probably Ridley's last chance to get an Oscar.

Why rush the alien prequel? If gucci shoots next year for a 2011 release,then let's say the alien prequel shoots in 2011 for a 2012 release. If ridley is directing the alien prequel he won't want to rush it & just make another cash cow. If it means waiting a couple of year's, then so be it.

I know this is totally wrong but I suddenly had an image in my head of Angelina Jolie playing Donatella Versace. That would be some good casting (although we might have that grotesque face in mind everytime we saw Angelina after that).
