Popstar Lady Gaga is set to return to the big screen for a new film about the Gucci family murder hemmed by Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott. Gaga has been cast to play Patricia Reggieani, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci.
Maurizio Gucci was the son of Rodolfo Gucci and Guccio Gucci was his grandfather, the original founder of the Gucci fashion house and dynasty. In 1995, Maurizio was killed by a hitman.
Reggieani was later convicted of arranging the assassination of her own husband. She served for approximately 20 years in prison before being released in 2016.

The synopsis reads, “Did Reggiana murder her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci in 1995? Because the amount of money he was spending, was wildly out of control? Did she do so because her glamorous ex was preparing to marry his mistress Paola Franchi? Or there is a possibility she didn’t do it at all. In this gripping of the ascent, eventual collapse, and resurrection of the Gucci dynasty.
