HOUSE OF GUCCI is one of two Ridley Scott films being released this fall, and just about a month apart too. Sadly, THE LAST DUEL hit theaters in October and severely underperformed, but now we’ve got a new look at his next effort, HOUSE OF GUCCI, based on the true story told in the book “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed” written by Sara Gay Forden. For those who don’t follow the news, you’ve likely at least heard of Gucci, a major brand name in the world of fashion. At the top of Gucci was Maurizio Gucci, who was tragically murdered. The film stars Jared Leto as Maurizio, almost unrecognizable here, along with Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, and Jeremy Irons. While I’m sure the Italian accents here are likely spot on, there is something kind of amusing about it, as it almost feels like watching a Saturday Night Live skit… but I’m guessing it plays better while watching the film. Check out the new trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
House of Gucci is inspired by the shocking true story of the family empire behind the Italian fashion house of Gucci. Spanning three decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder, we see what a name means, what it’s worth, and how far a family will go for control.
