‘HOUSE OF GUCCI’ INSPIRATION PATRIZIA REGGIANI SAYS SHE STILL HAS 'ENORMOUS LOVE' FOR MAURIZIO AFTER MURDER

"Encanto"

An animated musical adventure from Disney, "Encanto" follows the story of a young girl’s magical family.

"It’s about this extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live in the mountains of Columbia and everybody in the family has these special powers except for Mirabel," Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis told Fox News. "But then soon, they realize that Mirabel may hold the key to protecting that power."

The film stars "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" alum Stephanie Beatriz and the story was developed by "Hamilton" scribe Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also wrote original music for the flick.

Release date: Nov. 24 in theaters

Cast: Stephanie Beatriz, John Leguizamo, Wilmer Valderrama, Diane Guerrero, Alan Tudyk, Olga Merediz and more

"The Humans"

Based on the one-act play of the same name "The Humans" follows a fracturing family during their tense Thanksgiving celebration in New York.

"It’s about three generations of family who come together in a cramped Chinatown apartment in New York City to celebrate Thanksgiving," Davis said. "The film is layered with nuance … deeply haunting and ultimately very moving."

Written and directed by Tony winner Stephen Karam, who also penned the original play, "The Humans" features a small-but-mighty cast, including a rare dramatic turn for comedian Amy Schumer.

"House of Gucci"

One of the year’s most highly-anticipated flicks, "House of Gucci" will tell the true tale of the decline of the marriage between fashion icon Guccio Gucci’s grandson Maurizio and his wife Patrizia Reggiani.

"Really fantastic ensemble but it is Lady Gaga and Jared Leto who have the most transformative performances in this film," said Davis. Gaga portrays Reggiani while Leto plays Paolo Gucci, another member of the famed family.

"It is about primarily the marriage between Maurizio Gucci and Patrizia Reggiani, complete with all its ups and downs and suspicious betrayal and ultimately murder," Davis explained.
