According to Variety magazine, actress Angelina Jolie could be working with Ridley Scott in Gucci, a biopic Scott is putting together about the history of the all-powerful Italian family in the 70s and 80s, when their 153 shops generated more than 500 million dollars a year in revenues. The plot of the film is centred on Maurizio Gucci, grandson of company founder Guccio Gucci. When Mauricio was at the peak of his success, he was murdered in his Milan apartment in 1995.
The Oscar-winning actress would play Patrizia Reggiano, Maurizios ex-wife, who was sentenced to 29 years in prison, accused of being involved in the murder.
Although its not set yet, it looks like Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom Scott worked in Body of Lies, may play the ill-fated fashion magnate. Produced by Fox, filming is set to begin next year.
