The second ‘House of Gucci’ trailer is amazing: this movie looks great, right?

223071903_361687358699614_3597815474007431951_n

There are two kinds of people in this world: people who think House of Gucci will be a complete trainwreck and people who love that everything about House of Gucci looks like a glorious trainwreck. Personally, I love everything about it. I love Lady Gaga’s dark wig, her cheeseball Italian accent, her glorious ‘80s styling and the fact that I still find her utterly believable as a murderous gold-digger. Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani, who allegedly hired hitmen to murder her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci. The film is about that, but it’s also about Patrizia and Maurizio’s game-of-thrones power play shenanigans to wrest control of the then-crumbling Gucci empire. The film has a million new posters and they just released the second trailer:

I’m a believer. I still had doubts when the first trailer came out, but I’m all-in at this point. The film comes out on November 24 and I will be there with Gucci bells on. Yes, that’s Jared Leto in padding and prosthetics and I have no idea why they didn’t just hire an actor who looked more like the real guy. Adam Driver though… holy crap, he’s a man for all seasons. I even enjoy his Italian accent!

    I like the first trailer and second trailer is no less intriguing. And Gaga looks and sounds great in the trailers. I’ll definitely catch this! I’ve never seen her drama and film before but she is so captivating here.

  2. minx says:

    Can’t wait!

    • Aeval says:

      SAME. This might be the film to actually inspire me to go to a movie theater again.

      • VIV says:

        I’ve been going quite a bit, targeting showings that are pretty empty (ticket apps for the seat stalking win). I had zero interest in this movie until I saw the preview. I can’t wait for this mess!

      • BeanieBean says:

        I was thinking the same thing! I want to see this in the theater!

    • Jan90067 says:

      I won’t go into a movie theater yet, but I *will* stream it as soon as it hits Paramount +! Looking forward to it!

      • I’m so excited by this, i LOVE a trashy 80’s ANYTHING and I’m going to make slow cooker red clam sauce and open a bottle of super good Chianti and enjoy the crap out of this. I hope they all chew the scenery til the flats fall.

    This book is in my digital TRP, and I’m debating whether or not to read it before seeing the movie or after. Normally I’d always read the book before, but this movie looks so nuts I kind of want to go into it blind, so to speak.

    • Div says:

      The book is so, so good but I would definitely wait to read it because the story is so batshit insane that it might be more fun to see a visual representation first. Let’s just say a beloved pet ferret gets accidentally sat on at one point. The only thing I wish is that they had made this a 4 or 5 part HBO mini series because there is so much rich, Succession meets fashion drama to cover.

    • Anne Call says:

      Yeah, I just got the book. I’ll probably read it and then watch the movie at home whenever it comes out (no movie theatres in my immediate future). I find that the books that they base movies on are either nothing like the book or just skip a lot of details that fill in the story. So I’m good with reading and watching it!

  4. Lightpurple says:

    That’s a lot of scenery for Jared Leto to devour. Gaga is riveting.

  5. Léna says:

    Academy award winner Lady Gaga ? Did I miss something ? I don’t think Lady gaga has an Oscar. Or they’re thinking any award ?

    • Coquette says:

      Gaga won the Oscar for Best Song in her/BCoop’s A Star Is Born. She is an ‘Academy Award Winner’ just not for acting (yet..)

    • Ana Maria says:

      she won an Oscar for best original song, Shallow, from A Star is Born

    • frankly says:

      .

    • Div says:

      She won an Oscar for best song, but they should have just gone with Academy Award nominee since they are talking about acting & she legit has an acting nomination.

    • HeatherC says:

      Just like Eminem is an Oscar winner (Lose Yourself), Gaga is an Oscar winner too! To point out an Academy Award for Best Song when talking about someone’s acting, it diminishes the fact that she was nominated for an acting nomination too.

      It would be like Eminem starring in an upcoming movie and he’s headlined “Academy Award winner Eminem will star in the upcoming movie 8 Mile 2” or something.

    • Becks1 says:

      Yeah its for songwriting, but kind of the same way they always refer to Matt Damon as an Oscar winner in the context of his acting – he IS an oscar winner, but for screenwriting.

  6. Digital Unicorn says:

    I will DEF see this – Driver in that jumper is strangely quite sexy?!?!? Its Friday – forgive me.

    • Aeval says:

      Nothing strange about it. Either that or it’s my kind of strange, because that look works!

    • AlpineWitch says:

      I agree about everything, including sexy Driver in a jumper 😂 I definitely want to see this! Particularly because I worked for Gucci many years ago (when the company was already under Pineault’s group) and Maurizio’s murder was still gossiped about.

      • Digital Unicorn says:

        Oooh do tell? I worked for Conde Nast years ago and I imagine the fashion world is just like that.

    • Becks1 says:

      I’ve never been on the “Adam Driver is hot” team….but I am after this preview, lol. the sweater, the glasses, the hair….it works.

  7. Lea says:

    I like everything other than the terrible accents! I wish Hollywood would stop pushing wonky accent work overall. I mean, we know they weren’t speaking in English when these events took place, so why do you have to pretend they did with fake accents? Let everybody speak with their natural accent and call it a day.

    • AlpineWitch says:

      I’ve watched both trailers and their accent isn’t one of the worst? I’m originally from Italy and many Italian migrants I know haven’t a very different accent from those used in the film.

      However, I agree accents should be left alone when people originally spoke in another language altogether.

      • TeamMeg says:

        Thanks for weighing in on this, @AlpineWitch. I was wondering if people from Italy would find the accents offensive, because I kind of do?

      • Lea says:

        I am also Italian, that’s why I commented on the accents.

        To me they sound like an over the top parody of what they think Italians sound like. I prefer more subtle accent work, if the accent has to be there. I am especially appalled by Gaga’s accent considering that she is of Italian heritage.

    • Isabella says:

      Just hire Italians and Italian Americans already. Jared, why or why? He looks like a corpse. I guess Hollywood has learned nothing from the casting of the Sopranos.

      But I do love Adam in this role. In any role!

      • RoyalBlue says:

        This reminds me. Today I decided to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the first time and I could barely get past the first 10 minutes. Mick Rooney played a Japanese character and it was so painful to watch. That kind of casting would never fly in 2021.

  8. Merricat says:

    Gaga looks fantastic, I love this look for her.
    Adam Driver looks great, too. Lol. Yes, I’ll probably watch this.

  9. Courtney B says:

    Cannot wait. I totally agree about Jared Leto. There’s no reason for his casting. Plus he’s creepy AF. And double yes about Adam driver. Rawr! And Gaga looks like she’s having a blast.

    • Beth says:

      I don’t understand why they even went with Pedo Leto when he’s under pounds of prosthetics-his acting isn’t good enough to distinguish him, they could have gone with anyone else.

      • Courtney B says:

        I know. No reason at all. It’s not even like he’s a big box office star. Crazy. He’s the only part I’m not looking forward to. Hopefully his part is small.

    • HeatherC says:

      Was Paul Giamatti not available?

  10. Beth says:

    This looks TERRIBLE and I’m here for it!
    That said, I hate Jared Leto and I don’t know if I’ll watch it. Someone else let me know how much he’s actually in it (fingers crossed for a Suicide Squad-like tiny cameo.)

  11. RoyalBlue says:

    I want to see this. I saw the trailer in the cinema yesterday and I am intrigued.

  12. Coquette says:

    Jared is so extra, it’s insufferable

    Still waiting for him & his brother/bandmate to have THEIR metoo moment…a lot of concerts worldwide with a lot of underage fans.

    • Lucy says:

      I was a huge fan of their band back in the day. I never met the guys, but knew several people who did. Every single one of them said Jared was a total jerk.

      • RoyalBlue says:

        I could not stand him when he kissed Lupita at the Oscars. It just seemed like crossing the line to me.

  13. jaisymaisy says:

    I cannot wait for this. That said, they should have left Leto in the bin, where he belongs, and just hired Jeffrey Tambor, because Leto is legit just doing Tambor drag.

  14. Div says:

    Someone said they should have just hired Paul Giacometti instead of Leto. But agree this looks incredibly campy and fun. I wish more movies went for this type of camp factor. Also the Gucci family is such a hot mess…still laughing at how petty & bitchy the one member was who complained Al Pacino wasn’t handsome enough to play her father (Al is better looking than her Dad).

  15. Nicki says:

    Two kinds of people — those who recognize camp when they see it and those who don’t. This looks like so much fun. Can’t wait!

  16. NotSoSocialButterfly says:

    I’m in! I just love Adam Driver- he is an exceptional actor- and can’t wait to see Gaga as well!

  17. Amy Bee says:

    The accents don’t sound right but the movie looks good.

  18. Becks1 says:

    This looks amazing – its going to be gorgeous, campy, over the top, Gaga has so many zingy one-liners (“dont miss” LOL) – I don’t know if I’ll see it in theaters, if I do it will be by myself, lol, but I’m definitely seeing it at some point.

  19. Lucy says:

    I’m SICK of Jared Leto. Sick of him popping up in things. Hopefully Adam and Gaga will upstage him. Everything else is great.

  20. Case says:

    Yes, I definitely fall into the camp of being super excited about this. It looks so FUN! And the cast is great, minus Leto. Adam Driver is so freaking good and different in every movie he’s in and I’m excited to see more from Lady Gaga.

  21. HK9 says:

    I’m definitely going to see this!!

  22. Lesli says:

    Totally here for this! Can’t wait 🔥

  23. Lacie says:

    Jack Huston!!

  24. deering24 says:

    Why was the Gucci empire crumbling? This was one empire I never followed and know little about. (I’m waiting to get this book from the library, but I gotta hear Celebitchy’s take. 🤣🤣

  25. Dani says:

    I love how cheesy and OTT this looks, but I still don’t understand why Lady Gaga veers into a Russian accent at times.

  26. A. Key says:

    The exaggerated stereotypical Italian accents ruin it for me. I mean either speak in Italian or speak in English. All of them are native English speakers and nobody speaks Italian so to pretend to be Italian speakers struggling with English and having those Italian accents is just horrible to me. And yeah not every Italian sounds like that when they speak English. I need an Italian movie where everyone is pretending to be American and using horrible accents that Americans have when they try to speak another language.

  27. Valerie says:

    Am I the only one who isn’t excited about this?
