Film to showcase on STARZPLAY after its release in UAE theatres
STARZPLAY, in association with Gulf Films, hosted guests at NOVO 7-Star at IMG Worlds of Adventure for the UAE premiere of the American biographical crime drama, House of Gucci. Guests were given the first look at the film before the official showing in the UAE.
House of Gucci will be available exclusively on the STARZPLAY platform post its theatrical release. A biographical documentary on the same story, Lady Gucci, is available for subscribers to watch on the Discovery+ add on channel on STARZPLAY. In the documentary, the former Mrs. Gucci tells her story in an exclusive interview.
House of Gucci tells the tale of Patrizia Reggiani, played by Lady Gaga, an outsider from humble beginnings, who marries into the Gucci family. Her uninhibited determination sets off a reckless domino effect of betrayal, decadence, revenge and eventually murder. The film also stars Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci, Al Pacino as Aldo Gucci, Salma Hayek as Giuseppina Auriemma and Jared Leto as Paolo Gucci.
With thousands of hours of premium content including blockbuster movies, exclusive TV shows, kids content, Arabic series, as well as varied content via add-on channels, STARZPLAY is today the number one player in the MENA region.
