Angelina Jolie is reportedly in talks with director Ridley Scott to play a role in 'Gucci', which will revolve around the Gucci fashion dynasty.

Scott is said to have asked Jolie to play Patrizia Reggiano, who was sentenced to 29 years in jail for plotting the murder of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci.

According to Variety, "The studio is about to hire a scribe to rewrite the drama that recaptures the glamorous days of the Gucci family dynasty in the 1970s and '80s, when the family was selling $500 million in product annually. Squabbles hobbled the clan until Maurizio, the grandson of founder Guccio Gucci, came out on top of a power struggle to run the family business."

"Just when he was about to re-establish the brand name by debuting a line designed by newcomer — and now film director — Tom Ford, Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment in 1995."

Fox 2000 is hoping to get a 2010 release date, with Scott Free and Giannina Facio serving as producers.
