Ridley Scott To Direct 'Gucci' Family
[Thursday, June 22nd, 2006]Ridley Scott is set to direct Paramount Pictures feature based on the Gucci family, according to Variety.
The story, which will be penned by scribe Andrea Berloff, will span many years and several locales tracking the lives of the Gucci clan, known for creating one of the elite fashion houses and putting its stamp on the fashion biz over the course of decades.
However, behind the scenes the family dynasty was marred by soap opera-style drama: Paolo Gucci almost sent his father, Aldo Gucci, to prison for tax fraud; Maurizio Gucci was murdered in 1995; and his widow, Patrizia Gucci, was convicted three years later of ordering his assassination.
