Director Ridley Scott has tapped Miz Angelina Jolie to star in the upcoming Fox 2000 drama, Gucci.

Jolie is set to play the role of Patrizia Reggiano, the ex-wife of the late former Gucci head, Maurizio Gucci. Reggiano was sentenced to 29 years behind bars for successfully hiring a hit man to kill Gucci in 1995.

The film is aiming to capture the "glamorous days" of the "Gucci family dynasty" of the 70's and 80's up until Maurizio's tragic murder in the 90's.

Gucci is expected to begin production in 2010, with the studio still hunting around for a screenwriter to pen the Gucci family story.

We're excited!

It sounds like it's shaping up to be an amazing film!!!

Thoughts????
