Angelina Jolie is reportedly in talks to star in the new Ridley Scott-directed film “Gucci.”

According to Variety, the film revolves around the heyday of the Gucci fashion empire in the 70s and 80s. A real-life drama occurred within the Gucci family, which began when Gucci founder Guccio’s grandson Maurizio Gucci took over the company. Just before re-launching the brand under designer Tom Ford, he was killed in front of his Milan apartment in 1995.

If things go smoothly with the talks, Angelina Jolie will be playing Patrizia Reggiano, who was convicted of plotting Maurizio’s murder and was sentenced to 29 years in jail. Once every character has been signed, 20th Century Fox would like “Gucci” to become Scott’s next film with production beginning in 2010.
