MGM’s Ridley Scott-Lady Gaga Gucci Film Eyes Robert De Niro

Although Ridley Scott still has to finish shooting his period drama The Last Duel, his follow-up is looking to land a monster cast.

The Deadline reports that Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Jack Huston and Reeve Carney all are in talks to join MGM’s Gucci. 

Lady Gaga is attached to star as Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci who was tried and convicted of orchestrating her his assassination on the steps of his office in 1995. She served 18 years in jail before being let out in 2016.

It is the first project Lady Gaga has attached herself to since her Best Actress nomination in a breakout turn opposite Bradley Cooper in 2018’s A Star Is Born. She won an Oscar for writing the song “Shallow,” one of a number of hits on the soundtrack.

MGM landed the rights to the package back in April with plans to go into production after Scott finished shooting The Last Duel, which goes back into production next week.
