Does anyone have a clue if this is a lead role? Or will she just be in a couple scenes?

it depends on how they go with it, she could be a supporting actress if the focus is on the detectives solving his murder or she could be a lead if it's more about the story leading up to his murder. Since it's more of a crime drama i suspect she'll be a supporting actress and it'll focus on them solving the case and her being sent to prison.

They need to have the movie ready before September 1 if they want to screen it at the Venice Film Festival (which they 100% will)

I think he said he wanted to make two more prequels, one going more in depth about the Engineers from Prometheus, maybe tryna retcon what happened to them in Covenant which i think they could end up saying that was a colony not their home planet or something perhaps. And one that will tie directly into the original Sigourney Weaver movies.
I think he also had plans to bring her back for one more film at one point years ago but she was busy with Avatar's like 4 sequels . 

It would be so messy of him to retcon the engineers’ plotline from Covenant, but honestly? I wouldn’t mind it LOL the narrative arc and worldbuilding of the whole film was pretty meh, especially since it’s kind of obvious that the whole of the film feels almost like a reactionary creation with regards to Prometheus (which I liked, and even prefer, as the mystery around its worldbuilding was better imo). Oh well, as long as it doesn’t get as messy as the Halloween timeline I guess we’re fine. AVP is easy to ignore, even if the first one was cute!

Also, on the note of the Ripley films- he better get to it! And he’s working on the Avatar films with Cameron?? Who even wanted that I-

She's the main character, I think.

I hope the cast is good. Ridley usually gets big names. 

 

Don't know what the husband looks like but Colin Farrell is v Italian looking. Might be good. I think he's very much Gaga's type though so that could get messy 😂

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that MGM is acquiring Ridley Scott’s Gucci — a true crime drama about the murder of fashion trailblazer Maurizio Gucci — and is in negotiations for Lady Gaga to star. The studio beat out Netflix and at least one other streamer for the project about the machinations behind the fabled fashion house. MGM won out partly because it offered the opportunity for a theatrical release, a key appeal for Scott, according to sources.

Gaga would star as Patrizia Reggiani, Gucci’s ex-wife who was convicted of orchestrating his hit after he had an affair. The script by Roberto Bentivegna is based on The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, written by Sara Gay Forden and published by William Morrow in 2001. The book used the murder to delve into the complex yet dishy family history, filled with infighting, corporate intrigue and gobs of money. Maurizio Gucci was the grandson of Guccio Gucci and ran the company in a declining period in the 1980s after wresting it out of an uncle’s hands.

MGM is so ready to wear Gucci that it has set a Nov. 24, 2021, release date. "Nothing typifies bold, audacious originality more than a film by Ridley Scott," says De Luca in a statement. "All of us at MGM are incredibly excited to be in business with Ridley, Giannina, Kevin and the whole team at Scott Free.”

November 2021 cant wait for endless ridiculous rumor threads and every other day someone asking if gaga will do a soundtrack/song for it and "This song would be perfect for this movie we know nothing about" threads.  

Not to forget: Will she win another *major acting award*
