Scott, Jolie love their 'Gucci'

By Adnan Tezer Oct 21, 2009, 19:32 GMT

Ridley Scott is in discussions with Angelina Jolie for the female lead in "Gucci," a drama about murder and decadence in the Gucci fashion dynasty.

Fox 2000 is hoping for a 2010 start date for the film, and Scott is talking with Jolie to play Patrizia Reggiano, who was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci.

According to Variety, the studio is about to hire a writer to rewrite the drama that focuses on the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and '80s, when the family was selling $500 million in product annually. Inner battles hobbled the clan until Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, came out on top of a power struggle to run the family business. Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995.

Scott has approached his "Body of Lies" star Leonardo DiCaprio to play Maurizio, but he is not attached at this point.
