DENIZ AKKAYA
As we all prepare the highly anticipated movie House of Gucci’s release, on Thursday, we’ve been blessed with the first official trailer.
Here’s everything we know about the House of Gucci.
The movie marks Academy Award winner Lady Gaga’s first film since her role in A Star Is Born. And fans are excited to see what the beauty will bring to the table.
Head of the famous fashion house, Maurizio Gucci was gunned down by a hitman in 1995. In 1997, his ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani was arrested for arranging his murder. The film is all about the events leading up to the killing, gives insight into the ups and downs of Maurizio and Patrizia’s marriage, as well as the aftermath following the murder.
Patrizia was dubbed the “Black Widow” while serving 18 years behind bars and was eventually released from prison in 2016. While it is a known fact that Patrizia wanted Maurizio dead, she reportedly told the court that she inquired about the cost of a hitman. However, Patrizia denied organizing the murder and claimed that she was “framed” by Pina Auriemma.
Adam Driver stars as Maurizio Gucci, with his brothers in the House of Gucci being played by Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons. Al Pacino is starring as Aldo Gucci, the patriarch and founder of the fashion house. Salma Hayek, who coincidentally is married to the current head of the real House of Gucci, is starring as Pina Auriemma – Patrizia’s lifelong confidante.
House of Gucci will officially hit theaters on November 24, 2021 directed by Ridley Scott.
