The producer talks enlisting her husband to direct her passion project and spending 24 years bringing it to the screen
Photo: Karwai Tang/WireImage It’s fair to say House of Gucci would never have been built without the moviemaking foundation laid by Giannina Facio.
Patrizia undoubtedly deserves a lot of credit for the direction that Gucci as a company eventually took. But I wondered if Ridley required persuasion that this was a good project for him. He’s best known for sweeping, action-filled films. Not many of his films feature women as a main character. What kind of salesmanship on your part was required to get him to commit?
So at one point it was maybe okay. But then we weren’t convinced by the script we had. We weren’t getting the cast we wanted. So he dropped out again. And we said, “Well, wait.” And then this third time was the perfect time. We met with Roberto Bentivegna and the way he described the story was exactly the way we had been imagining for 20 years. And nobody had been able to grasp it. For Ridley, number one is a script.
I read that the two of you got together around the time of filming White Squall. Do I have that right? I did meet some of the Gucci people. It could have been 20 years ago that we had a cup of tea. I just asked them about their family and realized that each family member wanted only to tell their story and didn’t want anybody else to have a say. I realized immediately I don’t want to get involved.No. Sara’s book was the first thing.
