今年3月才在義大利開拍、改編真人實事的《Gucci：豪門謀殺案》（House of Gucci），有女神卡卡（Lady Gaga）化身時尚黑寡婦派翠琪亞（Patrizia Reggiani），嫁入了名牌Gucci（古馳）的家族第3代，人稱「Lady Gucci」，最後卻為了財產謀殺親夫。

結合超級強大的巨星卡司，包括女神卡卡、亞當崔佛（Adam Driver）、傑瑞德雷托（Jared Leto）、傑瑞米艾朗（Jeremy Irons）、艾爾帕西諾（Al Pacino），以及在現實中身為雲開集團（Kering）董事長夫人的女星莎瑪海耶克（Salma Hayek），而雲開集團恰好又是Gucci的母公司。這些演員全部都拿過奧斯卡獎，或者入圍過奧斯卡，如此華麗的陣容堪稱是實力派交鋒。

但是派翠琪亞又是何許人也，居然能讓女神卡卡願意點頭扮演這位惡名昭彰、為錢殺人的時尚黑寡婦？派翠琪亞從小在父母的教育下，灌輸了拜金的概念，加上父親對她總是溺愛異常，更讓派翠琪亞覺得只要自己想要的，拿到手就是理所當然。

因此當她在派對上結識了名牌精品Gucci的第3代傳人墨里奇奧（Maurizio），開始主動追求，目的當然是為了花不完的錢。這段感情自然沒有得到Gucci大家長的認同，但派翠琪亞動用了娘家的力量，堅持舉辦了盛大的婚禮，讓Gucci家族驚訝於她的長袖善舞，也同意了這門婚事。

只是所有的建築在金錢之上的關係，也隨著Gucci家族展開接班、引發了各種權力鬥爭，不只叔叔、堂兄弟都要跟墨里奇奧爭奪股權，派翠琪亞也虎視耽耽。她發現自己要的更多，不斷插手經營的結果導致婚姻失敗，更發現離婚會讓自己一無所有。於是派翠琪亞策劃一場殺夫行動，導致被判入獄26年。

派翠琪亞堪稱是時尚圈的第一拜金女，她講過的名言包括：「寧願坐在勞斯萊斯上哭，也不願坐在自行車上笑。」而她最後的下場，似乎也印證了這句話。《Gucci：豪門謀殺案》改編莎拉蓋伊福登（Sara G Forden）在2001年出版的同名著作，至於派翠琪亞本人在2011年假釋出獄，但她卻不想出獄，「我這輩子從不工作，也不想要工作。」最後有珠寶商願意聘請她當顧問，畢竟她這輩子都在花錢血拼，多少也累積了一些心得。這樣一位形象極度負面的奇女子，也真的只有女神卡卡可以駕馭了。

These House of Gucci Movie Posters Belong in a Museum

]

From the moment photos of Lady Gaga hurling a calzone toward Adam Driver’s mouth emerged earlier this year, the world has been enraptured with House of Gucci. On Thursday, following months of speculation and memeification, MGM finally released the film’s first official character posters—a series of images that warrant immediate analysis.

Like any great work of art, all who encounter these posters will infer a different meaning. Do the actors resemble the cast of a Clue–themed murder-mystery party? Or maybe Gaga’s costars look as if they either wish to offer you legal compensation in a class action lawsuit, or the deal of a lifetime on a used car?

The Ridley Scott–directed biopic centers on the murder of Maurizio Gucci (played by Driver), grandson of fashion-house founder Guccio Gucci. His killing was orchestrated by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani (played by Gaga), who was convicted in 1998 of arranging his assassination. Despite the film’s star-studded cast, including Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Jared Leto, Jack Huston, Reeve Carney, and Salma Hayek, the Gucci family has expressed colorful disappointment in the film’s existence.

Even if these posters are plastered around my neighborhood, pixelated across my lock screen, and forever played on a loop in my dreams, my eyes would not grow tired of them. Ahead, a shot-by-shot examination of the House of Gucci posters as we await its release on November 24.

Who is that peeking out from under a delicate black veil? That would be Gaga in full lead-actor mode, following her Oscar-winning turn in A Star Is Born. (Though I probably don’t need to remind you that she won for original song, not her performance.) This look embodies a day rifling through overpriced vintage clothing in Brooklyn—from her seashell-inspired statement necklace to the jewel-encrusted brooch. Gaga’s brooding aura is also reminiscent of Barbra Streisand singing “My Man” at the end of Funny Girl, if that movie were about Fanny Brice plotting to murder Nicky Arnstein.

Fresh off his internet-breaking performance as a centaur in Burberry’s new fragrance ad, Driver is stepping into a more humanistic role. This look offers 50 shades of blue—including cobalt-colored irises, a striped navy suit, and a mismatched tie (printed with…semicolons?). Driver may look like a buttoned-up character in a Wes Anderson movie, but his first Oscar could come from working with Ridley Scott as this doomed fashion heir.

Jared Leto as Paolo Gucci

‘House of Gucci’ Posters Unveil Jared Leto’s Shocking Transformation Opposite Gaga, Driver

Yes, that’s Jared Leto as Paolo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s new movie.

As fans continue to wait for MGM to debut the official “House of Gucci” trailer, the studio has gone ahead and premiered the first set of character posters from Ridley Scott’s upcoming murder drama. A first look photo had previously dropped of Lady Gaga and Adam Driver in character as Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, which means the new batch of posters provides the first look at Jared Leto as Paolo Gucci, Al Pacino as Aldo Gucci, and Jeremy Irons as Rodolfo Gucci. Leto appears under prosthetics in what is the actor’s latest unrecognizable film transformation.

Written by Roberto Bentivegna and based on the Sara Gay Forden book “The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed,” Scott’s upcoming film casts Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted of orchestrating the assassination of her ex-husband and former head of the Gucci fashion house, Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). Reggiani served 16 years in prison for the crime. The ensemble cast also includes “Stillwater” actress Camille Cottin as Paola Franchi, plus Jack Huston, Salma Hayek, and Reeve Carney.

After the first look photo from “House of Gucci” was released earlier this year, Patrizia Gucci, the great-grandchild of house founder Guccio Gucci, released a statement to The Associated Press condemning the project. One of the biggest concerns Patrizia Gucci has with Scott’s new film is the casting of Al Pacino and Jared Leto as Aldo and Paolo Gucci, respectively. As the Gucci heir said, “My grandfather was a very handsome man, like all the Guccis, and very tall, blue eyes and very elegant. He is being played by Al Pacino, who is not very tall already, and this photo shows him as fat, short, with sideburns, really ugly. Shameful, because he doesn’t resemble him at all.”

As for Leto, Patrizia condemned the set photos revealing the Oscar winner’s “unkempt hair and a lilac corduroy suit” as Paolo. “Horrible, horrible,” she said. “I still feel offended.”

“House of Gucci” is one of two new Scott films arriving this fall. Scott’s “The Last Duel” is set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September before debuting in theaters October 15. “House of Gucci” is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 24 via United Artists Releasing (the distribution arm of MGM).
