Less than a year after her successful awards season run for “A Star Is Born,” Lady Gaga is diving back into the deep end of the movie industry.
Her next endeavor will be a film about the Gucci family directed by Ridley Scott, a representative for Scott confirmed to The Times Friday. The project also will tackle the assassination of Maurizio Gucci, the grandson of fashion empire founder Guccio Gucci,The “Shallow” singer is set to star as Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio Gucci’s ex-wife, who served 18 years in prison — reduced from her original sentence of 29 — for plotting his murder, which occurred in 1995 on the staircase to his office.
Roberto Bentivegna is attached to adapt the screenplay based on the book “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and Greed” by Sara Gay Forden. The Gucci movie has yet to find a distributor.Gaga’s turn as Reggiani will be a significant departure from her first film appearance as the loving, patient Ally opposite Bradley Cooper’s troubled Jackson Maine in “A Star Is Born,” which earned her both Golden Globe ands for acting, as well as wins for original song.
Scott, who also will serve as a coproducer on the drama with his wife, Giannina Scott, has several other projects in the pipeline, including the latest big-screen Agatha Christie adaptation, “Death on the Nile,” Kenneth Branagh, which is set to hit theaters in 2020. He reportedly also is working on another “Alien” prequel as well as a sequel to his 2000 hit “Gladiator.”
Wow, I just read a 2016 Guardian account of this murder and its aftermath. What a fantastic role for Lady Gaga!
No thanks to anything that anti-Trump trash is in.
Call me when he does an Alien vs Gucci crossover feature. I gotta see my fav extra terrestrial in some hot new sleds.
