Casting Stuff For Ridley Scott's GUCCI Is Now Happening...
Merrick here...
Ridley Scott's GUCCI drama is slowly starting to take shape, with script re-writes and casting talk now underway.
Ridley Scott is in discussions with Angelina Jolie for a femme fatale role in "Gucci," a drama about murder and decadence in the Gucci fashion dynasty.
[EDIT]
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.
[EDIT]
...the drama that recaptures the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and '80s, when the family was selling $500 million in product annually. Squabbles hobbled the clan until Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, came out on top of a power struggle to run the family business. Just when he was about to reestablish the brand name by debuting a line designed by newcomer -- and now film director -- Tom Ford, Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995.
[EDIT]
The director has approached his "Body of Lies" star Leonardo DiCaprio, but he is not attached at this point.

Here's a clip from a recent Gucci fashion show. Looks like a parade of vampires...

...I doubt it.

See what happens when someone puts on a pair for the first time!
-
A couple of friends go hiking with the latest trend in hiking gear only to be confronted by a bunch of butt-fucking hillbillies.

How forgettable was that movie? I don't even remember a single thing that happened except Mark Strong giving a fucking badass performance. I haven't enjoyed a Ridley Scott film since Gladiator. They have all been muddled messes, IMO. American Gangster was fucking crap. A Good Year was trite bullshit. I remember like every film I've ever seen, but seriously, I forgot what happened in Body of Lies about as soon as I left the theater. Leo should stay the hell away from Scott.

Gucci mane is an embarassment to music!!!

I'm sure half of you don't know who he is, but that guy is fucking awful
-
easily his best film since Gladiator (actually, better than Gladiator IMO). I'm hoping Robin Hood is more along the lines of Gladiator/Kingdom of Heaven. It looks like it could be good, but then again Scott's recent films have been shit.
-
Of every movie!
-
Where's my Armani movie? I want to see Warwick Davis starring.
-
The guy who bought Guccio's house for cheap? That house is fucking crazy. Are they actually going to go over the murder? That dude was pretty crazy. At first I thought this sounded stupid, but its actually a pretty interesting story. And thanks to The Devil Wears Prada, fashion movies are in right now. But will they by the time this never gets made?
-
I actually think that both Black Hawk Down and Matchstick Men are terrific movies and easily on par with Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven DC.
-
If anyone can make Gucci the movie enthralling, it's JettL.
-
It and American Gangster were more like Tony Scott films to be honest. Kingdom of Heaven Directors Cut was incredible though, and if it didn't star Orlando Bloom it would be a masterpiece.
-
It's a lot like Lord of the Rings, only with Orcs in Underwear!But in order to finance this I must prove myself to the studios, so I'll be doing a short avant garde film about a boy who eventually becomes a man seen through the eyes of those black socks package brands you find at Wal-Mart.
-
A necessary movie because I will NEVER FUCKING UNDERSTAND the point of expensive Coach purses that women love so much, but to me are ugly as fuck. Yeah, I know, it's a status thing the same as high priced jewelry, but still... UGLY AS FUCK. The same goes for assholes with Louis Vuitton (sp?) luggage. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT, especially with the beating that shit's going to take by the people who handle it at the airport.
-
one thing at a time? Your top three priorities should be: 1)Alien 2)Alien 3)Alien.
-
From it's rise to it's demise. The fashion that took the 80's by storm!
-
Are you telling me that Russell Crowe is NOT in this movie? What happened? As soon as I saw the headline I assumed that it would have RC in lipstick and a dress.
-
You have more interesting projects lined up Ridley, work on one of those instead
-
Kingdom of Heaven was wonderful but ever since he made it big again with Gladiator, virtually everything except KOH seems to be Ridley trying to sink back into his '90s mediocrity. Who gives a fuck about this, honestly. "I'll make a glitzy show piece with Angelina and Gucci, that'll bring the ladies in for a fluffy sex thriller." Sad. Sadder, even, than American Gangster, which was crap, as was Black Hawk Down.
-
spend all day as a kid in the 80's trying these jeans on...& bitch all the way home because you didin't get a transformer
-
That was even worse.
-
Is it any good? AMERICAN GANGSTER, too. Here's the deal. Like everyone I love vintage Scott. But around the time of HANNIBAL and BLACK HAWK DOWN, I felt that the guy has terrible instinct for material. They were both nasty films, with no moral compass whether good or evil. And they looked like commercials. Then I saw the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN director's edition, and was fairly blown away. It's not Scorsese, but as big bucks entertainment goes, it's a great watch. So it seemed that while Scott can't tell a good script from a bad one, when he gets a good one the result is a good film. SOoooo, I want to know, what are BODY OF LIES and AMERICAN GANGSTER like? Please let me know, thank you, lots of love, from Mr Gorilla.

You need a hot babe who won't be turned off by squicky scenes of sexual fuckuppery? She's your go-to gal.
-
I don't want to sound like a big square, but I do think a lovely smile can be very attractive on a lady, although I know some are born vampires. But these chicks are ALL vampires.
-
Like four hours of lame quasi-Scarface BS with Denzel just being Denzel. Lame subplot with Russell Crowe. Drug kingpin Frank Lucas is heavily softened up, when the cops finally raid it's like oh look at them smashing the poor man's doghouse. Then at the end Denzel and Russell make friends, laughing and joking as they take down his own empire as classic R&B plays. WTF? Haven't seen BODY OF LIES though.
-
Don't listen to these douchebags.
-
According to the IMDb, Ridley Scott has 14 movies "in development."
14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(See what I did there? Used 14 exclamation points.) -
You know you all wore them at one point or another.
-
Gucci gladiater
-
but unless they replace Orlando Bloom with a proper actor i'm convinced it will still be shit so I'm not even going to try it.
-
starring Maya Rudolph?
-
I'm sure putting out new cuts of that movie is the only way he can stall the eventual remake.
-
I think they should title it Squabbles Hobbled.
DiCaprio won't be able to do it if he can't get off of Scorsese's jock. Maybe Scorsese and Scott should just collaborate on it. Then Marky Mark can join in the fun too. -
Blood.......Yeah you all thought I was going to say DICK... well I didn't ...oh yeah I guess I did ..
but yeah they look pretty fucking undead... -
so we can have fashionable cannibals making "mah-velous" leather purse,belts, and pants outta human flesh. that's a movie i could sink my teeth into
-
and shoot it like Dogville on coke. Then I'm in. Maybe.
-
and before the plastic surgery: http://tinyurl.com/yg9dxuj
this was back in '96. -
Where's Monopoly, damnit!
-
Two hours of Leo running around stubbly and perturbed, and Crowe constantly looking over his glasses after a month long diet of KFC, with a shaky good ol' boy accent. Blobby Crowe...worked in The Informer, not so much here.
-
Scott was smart enough to not let Bloom talk that much, making his performance much less cringe worthy. The directors cut is a fantastic film, by the way.
-
The only projects of his that are moving forward are the ones I have zero interest in.
-
Yeah!
-
...than I am in watching snail-sex. (See, because that would undoubtedly be something that would happen very slowly, which would be boring, and thus very, very UNinteresting.)

Hey kids, it's time for Ridley Scott to announce a new project!
by nasty in the pasty
Dude's taking a cue from Tarantino, except he actually MAKES half of the movies he's attached to.
-
Not a great film (DiCaprio's love interest subplot was a loser), but visually gorgeous, with some exciting action setpieces.
-
Kal Penn looks more Italian than him.
-
Fuck off and take your 28 movies a year with you.

i'm going to take his negatives and wipe my ass with them
by takingscorpioscalls
enoguh of these movies set in some sandpit or far smelling city. get back to space or the future you retarded gimp monkey, fantasy good too.
-
Was war porn, the filmmakers jingling their balls at how realistic the tendons looked from a half exploded body or a finger hanging by a thread, fake looking CGI squibs. awful leads. Josh Hartnett, tom sizemore wtf???
-
Keep DiCaprio away from this movie!!!!! Please!!! For Dior's sake!!!
-
sorry..had to throw that in there..oh oh Sergio!
-
..help me Anakin!..im weak..im..old..
-
I'd say the top three priorities should be: 1) The Forever War 2) Alien 3) Brave New World.As long as he does any of the above or even the Gucci project before Monopoly. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell they convinced someone like Ridley Scott to attach his name to a live action Monopoly film. Why not give Monopoly to Zemekis instead, whose still stuck on that wacky performance capture stuff, instead of wasting Ridley Scott's time with it.As for this Gucci project, I'd be willing to bet Ridley is going to be producing this, and not directing.

burr burr burrr!

From the writer/director of Stetson:A man and his horse.

...with the crazed, gay spree-killer who whacks him and then holes up and eventually offs himself in some homosexual millionaire's oversized houseboat... and then Elton John cries. In the epilogue, his crazed, skeletal sister starves her own daughter to near-death. Roll credits.
-
What the fuck happened to Forever War? This sounds boring as hell with boring actors.
-
Joe Halderman...read the book and you'll be clammoring for it to be filmed!!!
-
Get on with the Alien prequel Ridders!
-
meanwhile, "The Forever War" still isn't moving forward. What the fuck is he waiting for?
-
AY! AY! AY! AY!! OK!
-
Unless Leo Decapricock as Gucci fights Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel with a purple lightsaber, I'll pass.
-
I second that: where the FUCK is Forever War?
