Angelina Jolie in Talks to Star in Ridley Scott’s Gucci Movie

Ridley Scott is in talks with Angelina Jolie about starring in Gucci, his forthcoming film about the ultraglam Gucci dynasty of the seventies and eighties, when the house pulled in $500 million in annual sales. Jolie might play Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife Patrizia Reggiano, who was convicted of plotting his murder and sentenced to 29 years in jail. (A hit man shot Maurizio on his doorstep in 1995, a year and a half after the sale of Gucci.) Scott is talking to Leonardo DiCaprio about playing Maurizio, but nothing is confirmed — except that so far, this movie sounds amazing. [Vulture]
