The official description for the film reads: 

House of Gucci is inspired by the shocking true story of the family empire behind the Italian fashion house of Gucci. Spanning three decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder, we see what a name means, what it’s worth, and how far a family will go for control.

According to THR, speaking about the project, producer Giannina Scott said, "This project has long been a labor of love for both Ridley and me. The story is so epic, the stakes so high and the characters so richly drawn." MGM's chairman Michael De Luca expressed his excitement about the project and said, "Nothing typifies bold, audacious originality more than a film by Ridley Scott."
