WATCH: Lady Gaga and Jared Leto star in 'House of Gucci' film

House of Gucci is inspired by the shocking true story of the family empire behind the Italian fashion house of Gucci. Spanning three decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder, we see what a name means, what it’s worth, and how far a family will go for control.

Lady Gaga’s character Patrizia Reggiani is a stylish force to be reckoned with when she marries Adam Driver’s Maurizio Gucci in the new trailer for House of Gucci. The film arrives in theatres on the 3rd of December.

The film is based on Sara Gay Forden’s 2001 book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, the Ridley Scott-directed film follows the family whose name is synonymous with high-end Italian fashion through three decades of their dynasty. Beneath the surface of their stylish appearances, there is power struggles, betrayals, scandal and murder.

The trailer features the head of the fashion house Maurizio Gucci and Reggiani’s romance and wedding, along with her assertions that new blood is needed in the family and that “it’s time to take out the trash.” It turns out, one of the casualties in her vision of a new regime was Maurizio. Reggiani was tried and convicted of plotting her ex-husband Maurizio’s murder after he left her for another woman.

“I don’t consider myself to be a particularly ethical person,” Gaga’s Reggiani aloofly says in the new trailer. “But I am fair.”

The film also stars Salma Hayek, Adam Driver, Jeremy Irons and Al Pacino and will be released in South Africa on the 3rd of December 2021.
