New set photos show first glimpse of Adam Driver and Lady Gaga filming House of Gucci
The first set photos have emerged from Ridley Scott’s upcoming crime drama, The House of Gucci, which is currently filming in Italy.
Adam Driver is playing Italian fashion house boss Maurizio Gucci, while Lady Gaga plays his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani. The movie, based on the book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, will focus on Gucci’s murder – Reggiani was tried and convicted of orchestrating his assassination in 1995.

The pics show Driver and Gaga standing on what looks like a balcony. Driver has donned glasses and a turtleneck, while Gaga is wearing an extremely fluffy hat. Although it doesn’t give away much about the plot of what they’re shooting, it seems we can expect extravagant costumes aplenty (as you’d expect from a Gucci biopic).
Alongside the unhappy couple, Jeremy Irons will play Rodolfo Gucci, Maurizio’s father (despite reports last this year that suggested Robert De Niro was in talks for the role), while Jared Leto and Al Pacino are also on board to star, playing Paolo Gucci and Aldo Gucci respectively.
Driver’s last movie was also a Scott joint – due to be released in October, The Last Duel is a historical thriller set in 14th-Century France. Driver stars alongside Jodie Comer, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck. Meanwhile, this is Gaga’s first role since her Oscar-nominated turn as Ally in A Star is Born .

With temperatures plummeting on the exterior set, Gaga stayed warm in her character’s faux-mink coat and hat while chatting to director Scott.
The pair were later joined by co-star Adam Driver, who wore a casual knitted sweater and sunglasses as he prepared to film scenes as Guccio Gucci, the grandson of Gucci fashion brand founder.
The film also stars Al Pacino as Aldo Gucci, Guccio’s son, and Jared Leto as Paulo Gucci, Aldo’s son.
Jeremy Irons will also star as Rodolfo Gucci alongside Jack Huston, Reeve Carney and Camille Cottin who join in unspecified roles.

It’s been little more than a fortnight since Gaga’s dog walker Ryan Fischer was shot by thieves who stole her two bulldogs on February 24.
The American Horror Story actress - who has been filming a movie in Italy - was left stranded in Europe when Ryan was shot in the chest by thieves and two of her pets stolen in the US.
The dogs, Gustav and Koji, were returned to the pop star by a mystery woman who said she found them tied to a post in Los Angeles.
A manhunt for the two attackers is still underway.

Lady Gaga put up a $500,000 reward for information leading to the safe return of her stolen dogs, who finally came home safe last Friday.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the woman was a Good Samaritan who recognized the dogs from media coverage of the robbery in which the singer’s dog walker was shot.
She contacted an email address shared on social media by Lady Gaga and was told to head to the nearest police station.
Sources also told TMZ that the Star Is Born actress will ‘gladly’ follow through on her promise of a reward.
