Cast

Production

In June 2006, Ridley Scott was set to direct a movie about the downfall of the Gucci family dynasty with Andrea Berloff writing the script,[1] despite the family's dismissal,[2] with Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio rumored to play Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, respectively.[3] In February 2012, Scott's daughter Jordan Scott had replaced him as director and was in talks with Penélope Cruz to play Reggiani.[4] In November 2016, Wong Kar-Wai took over directing the movie from Jordan Scott, with Charles Randolph writing with Berloff and with Margot Robbie now considered to play Reggiani.[5] In November 2019, Ridley Scott was once again set to direct the film, with Roberto Bentivegna writing the script, and Lady Gaga to star as Reggiani.[6]

In April 2020, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures acquired the rights to the film.[7] By August, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Jack Huston and Reeve Carney had entered negotiations to join the cast.[8] Driver, Leto, Pacino and De Niro would be confirmed by October.[9] Huston and Carney were confirmed in December along with the casting of Jeremy Irons and the exit of De Niro.[10][11] Dariusz Wolski would announce his involvement as cinematographer that same month.[12] In January 2021, Camille Cottin was added to the cast.[13]

Filming

Principal photography began in Rome in February 2021.[14][15]

Release

It is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 24, 2021.[7][16]
