Darren Criss to Play Serial Murderer in Ryan Murphy's VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Variety reports that Darren Criss (HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH) and Edgar Ramirez are set to lead the cast of Ryan Murphy's VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY. The third installment of the FX anthology series will center on the murder of famed designer Gianni Versace, who was killed on the steps of his Miami Beach home by serial murderer Andrew Cunanan. Ramirez will take on the role of Versace, while Criss will play Cunanan, who eventually killed himself on a house boat eight days after murdering Versace.

The project will mark the reunion of Criss and Murphy who have worked together on both the hit FOX musical dramedy GLEE and Murphy's "American Horror Story." No additional casting has been announced, however Murphy revealed to Variety that despite reports to the contrary, Lady Gaga will not portray Donatella Versace. He explained, "When you're going to do a show like Versace, it's a five-month commitment, it's a very big show, we're shooting it all over the world. So I just don't think with her schedule, I knew that it would never had worked. But I would love to work with her on something in the future."

The Versace installment of the series will be based on Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth's book "Vulgar Favors." Tom Rob Smith will pen various episodes and serve as executive producer with Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Brad Falchuk. Production on the project will get underway in March, but will not air until 2018. Murphy's second installment of AMERICAN CRIME STORY will center on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Last year, the debut installment, "People v OJ Simpson," was a ratings hit and received a host of awards.

Infos about Andrew and the Movie/Show...

Quote:

“Andrew was a handsome child with a precocious sparkle. When he was ready to enroll at Sunnyside Elementary, he was a comely combination of his parents, with skin that looked permanently tanned, thick dark eyebrows, and large hazel eyes. It was not immediately apparent that he was half Filipino, and in school he never said he was. He was extroverted and happy in Miss Bobbie Hatfield’s kindergarten."“No one knew he was half Filipino, and he never befriended the other Filipino students”

Quote:

Ryan Murphy at Entertainment Weekly on October 30 2016 on the focus of ACS: Versace (He confirms in this interview that casting for Versace was underway at this point)

I was always very moved and freaked out by the Versace assassination, and I thought it was a really great story to do because it’s a manhunt season. [Serial killer Andrew Cunanan] killed four people and then Versace, and was on the loose. We’re exploring the reasons of how he got away with being undetected… The tragedy of the Versace murder was that it should not have happened. He should have been caught by then. But he wasn’t caught because he was targeting gay people, and people didn’t care.
