BEIJING, Oct. 22 -- Angelina Jolie is about to take deadly fashion to a whole new level.

    Angelina is in talks to play the femme fatale role in director Ridley Scott's "Gucci," a big screen drama about murder and greed in the famed Gucci fashion dynasty, according to Variety.

    The actress would play Patrizia Reggiano, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci, who was sentenced to 29 years in prison for plotting to murder the fashion guru.
