Lady Gaga debuted an official look for Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci” on her Instagram page. The first look is a photo of Gaga and her co-protagonist Adam Driver in the characters of Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, respectively. Directed by Scott and written by Roberto Bentivegna, “House of Gucci” tells the story of Reggiani as she is tried and convicted of orchestrating the murder of her ex-husband and former head of the Gucci brand, Maurizio Gucci. The script is based on Sara Gay Forden’s book “The House of Gucci”. Filming for the project began in Rome last month.
In addition to Gaga and Driver, “House of Gucci” features a cast that includes Al Pacino as Aldo Gucci, Jared Leto as Paolo Gucci, Jeremy Irons as Rodolfo Gucci and Camille Cottin as Paola Franchi, as well as Jack Huston and Reeve Carney. The project is one of two Ridley Scott releases that will be released in 2021 and will serve as a continuation of 2017’s “All the Money in the World”. Scott’s other project is “The Last Duel”, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. This film, now in post-production, opens in October, followed by “House of Gucci” in November. All release dates are subject to change due to the ongoing pandemic.
“House of Gucci” is notable for being the continuation of Lady Gaga in “A Star Is Born”, her debut as an actress that earned her universal acclaim and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Gaga won the Oscar for Best Original Song thanks to her blockbuster anthem “Shallow” from the film’s original soundtrack. Other acting credits from Gaga include a cameo in “Machete Kills” and the lead role in “American Horror Story: Hotel”, which earned him a Golden Globe.
Driver, meanwhile, is emerging from an Oscar nomination for Best Actor last year, thanks to his performance in Noah Baumbach’s “Wedding Story”. The actor is reuniting with Baumbach for “White Noise”, co-starring Greta Gerwig. “White Noise” will go into production later this year, after Driver finishes “House of Gucci”.
“House of Gucci” is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 24 via United Artists Releasing (MGM’s distribution arm). Check out the photo of the first look below, courtesy of Lady Gaga.
