The Oscar-winning actor is in talks to play Patrizia Reggiani, the woman jailed for ordering the 1995 killing of her ex-husband, fashion magnate Maurizio Gucci.Jolie would be working with director Ridley Scott who has been planning the project since 2007. Scott has approached Leonardo DiCaprio to play Gucci, though the actor is not yet attached.Reggiani was jailed for 29 years in 1999 for her part in the killing of her ex-husband, although she has always maintained that she involved against her will. "I have been naive to the point of stupidity," she said before being sentenced. Her story was that her personal psychic, Pina Auriemma, had first made contact with the killers and then blackmailed her into going along with the plot. Auriemma was sentenced to 25 years.The Gucci name has often been synonymous with fiery behaviour alongside enormous wealth. In one infamous incident during the early 80s, a family member is said to have been knocked unconscious with an answering machine during a boardroom spat. Maurizio's cousin, Paolo Gucci, reported his own father, Aldo, then head of the company, for tax evasion. The latter was sentenced to a year and a day behind bars in Florida in 1986 for conspiring to evade more than $7.4 million in U.S. income taxes. The fortunes of the fashion house were on the verge of a glorious revival under designer Tom Ford when Maurizio was gunned down in front of his Milan apartment.
