Ridley Scott is working on a movie to begin filming next year about the downfall of the Gucci family dynasty. The Gucci family is not pleased about the scandalous film. Angelina Jolie is in talks to play Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio Gucci's ex-wife, who's currently serving a 26-year sentence for plotting his 1995 murder. So it's a pretty scandalous plot, and one wouldn't cast Angelina without expecting her to take on the role with the zeal of a bloodthirsty vampire.
Variety reports: Maurizio’s cousin Patrizia Gucci has been telling Italian newspapers she feels bamboozled and betrayed by Giannina Facio, Scott’s wife and one of the pic’s producers, who, she says, spent time with the Guccis in Florence and assured them it would be more a piece of Gucci hagiography.
"Scott had assured us that it would not be a scandalistic movie," Patrizia Gucci told Corriere della Sera, adding the Gucci family is "surprised and disconcerted."
