You may remember last week we were talking about Ridley Scott planning to make a biopic of the Gucci family in which he claimed he would love to cast Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Angelina Jolie.
Well, it turns out that the fashionable family in question is "up in arms" about the planned project, claiming that they have not given the go-ahead for even pre-production to take place.
In case you don’t know the ins and outs of the story that Blade Runner director Scott wishes to portray, trust me, it’s a harrowing one.
In a nutshell, Scott recently claimed that he wanted Changeling star Jolie to portray Patrizia Raggiani, the ex-wife of Gucci mogul Maurizio Gucci who arranged to have him murdered by a hitman back in the 1980s, while Titanic legend DiCaprio would play the victim.
But, according to the family, they have not yet authorised the movie purely because they believe that they have been through enough and don’t need to see their upsetting history on the big screen.
Patrizia Gucci, the late Maurizio’s cousin, told Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera: "We have been through horrible things and paid plenty in person. I will write a book about the Guccis to say who they really are.
"And I will give Scott a copy, in hopes that his movie will never be released."
Considering how successful Scott is in the movie industry, he strikes me as the kind of guy who always gets what he wants, so watch this space for future developments.
In the meantime, to get your fix of Gucci designer clothes, have a look at what we here at Secret Sales HQ have on offer!
Would you like to see the production of this movie go ahead?
