Angelina Jolie: the devil wears Gucci!
Angelina Jolie is currently in talks to star in "Gucci" for director Ridley Scott. The film will portray the glamorous but brutal history of the Gucci family in the 1970s and 80s.
Maurizio Gucci, grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, emerged as the surprising victor in a bloody battle to hold the reins of the family business. However, on the point of achieving his greatest success in 1995, the much-envied business director was found shot down at his Milan apartment.
Angelina will play Patrizia Reggiano, who was sentenced to 29 years in prison for arranging her ex-husband Maurizio's assassination. The film is expected to go into production in early 2010 under 20th Century Fox and the director has apparently approached Leonardo DiCaprio about playing the role of Maurizio.
