Ridley Scott is set to direct a movie detailing the operatic highs and lows of the Gucci fashion dynasty.

The exact story line is unclear, but the real- life drama surrounding the couture clan includes how Paolo Gucci almost sent his father, Aldo Gucci, to prison for tax fraud; the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci; and the conviction of his widow, Patrizia Gucci, three years later for ordering his assassination.

Variety reports that Paramount has tapped Andrea Berloff to write the screenplay. Scott is now helming "American Gangster" with his "Gladiator" star Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington.
