And yeah to Darren in a Tarantino movie !


I don't watch AHS because I can't watch anything in the horror genre.   But she was so good in The People versus O.J. Simpson, as was Sterling Brown and many of the actors. 

I'm all for Darren having as many opportunities as he can get (even if I personally am not a fan of certain genres).   All the power to Darren! 

Thanks so much for posting that video, Jeremy.  There's a lot of scenes we haven't seen yet!

Why does Cunanan look so horrified when he watches the news on TV about Versace's murder.  Does he have multiple personalities?   Or is he skilled in deluding himself from the truth that he is the murderer?  Or is he horrified that the manhunt will intensify now that Versace was among the victims? 

I love that American Crime Story is not just a series about a crime, but is about a crime that the society of America is guilty of, whether it's racism or homophobia.    Question:  "what do you do?"  Cunanan:  "I'm a serial killer."  Can you imagine someone who you are dancing close to, telling you that ?!  *cough* Uh, sorry, I have to run away now.  :help wha?

Darren Criss Is Seriously Creepy As Versace's Killer In American Crime Story Teaser

December 27, 2017
THIS IS NOT THE WARBLER WE KNOW AND LOVE
An in-depth first look at The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is here! Or second look, if we’re counting that NFSW, cold sweat-inducing nude picof star Darren Criss.

Anyway, in the new clip, we see Criss — fully clothed — as Andrew Cunanan, a “spree killer in the 1990s who climaxed with the very public murder of Gianni Versace,” executive producer Brad Simpson describes.

“This particular manhunt is the largest failed FBI manhunt in history,” Criss says of his character, who literally introduces himself to a guy in a club as a serial killer.

His chilling character’s sociopathic tendencies escalate when another man notices Cunanan identifying himself as gay to gay people and straight to straight people. “I tell people what they need to hear,” he replies.

But it’s not until the former  Gleestar deadpans, “I am so happy right now,” while looking very, very unhappy, that he achieves peak creep.

Ricky Martin, who plays Antonio D'Amico, Gianni Versace’s boyfriend at the time of his murder,  Penélope Cruz, as Versace’s sister Donatella Versace, and Edgar Ramírez, as Versace himself, also appear in the clip to introduce the next installment of  American Crime Story, which will premiere Wednesday, January 17, at 10 p.m. EST on FX.

New "Assassination Of Gianni Versace" Featurette Takes You Inside The Mind Of A Serial Killer

Dec 27, 2017

The Assassination of Gianni Versace, the latest installment of FX’s American Crime Story, is only a few weeks away, and in a new behind-the-scenes featurette, the cast and producers of the series talk about the search for Versace’s killer, Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss), and how it became the “largest failed FBI manhunt in history.”

“People were scared. The fact that this man was killing gay men, still some people don’t understand why it happened,” says Ricky Martin, who plays Versace’s partner, Antonio D’Amico.

Judging from the new video it looks like The Assassination of Gianni Versace will not only explore Versace’s world, but also focus on Andrew Cunanan and the Miami gay scene.

“Andrew’s journey is a journey through the politics of homosexuality as they play across America in the ’90s,” executive producer Brad Simpson says in the behind-the-scenes video.

In addition to Criss and Martin, the limited series stars Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace and Penelope Cruz as his sister, Donatella Versace.

The season is based on Maureen Orth’s account of the murder in Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History. Murphy admits the designer’s family may not love everything they see.

“I think that the Versaces will like some of what we do, and I think that some of it they will be uncomfortable about. And I understand that. But we’re going off a book, and other reporting that we’ve done. I think [the show] is moving. I think it’s powerful.”  

American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace premieres January 17 on FX. Will you be watching?

Like we did for its precursor, which covered the O.J. Simpson trial, come to this show for the stunt casting and stay for the socio-political conversation. So while marveling at the talents of Darren Criss—who is already earning praise for his portrayal of fashion designer Versace’s murderer, Andrew Cunanan—take a moment while watching to appreciate the miniseries’ bigger message. Co-creator Ryan Murphy maintains that this installment is as much about the homophobia that was (and is) predominant in our country as the first season was about race. (Premieres January 17 on FX)

Darren Criss


Darren Criss is not a newcomer, lauched to fame by Glee and who is reunited with Ryan Murphy in The Assassination of Gianni Versace, the long-awaited second season of American Crime Story. Criss plays Andrew Cunanan, who killed the couturier after killing four other people across the United States, and whose character looks set to be very important in the series.

Considering what The People vs O.J. Simpson represented for Sarah Paulson, Criss is facing the opportunity to become one of the most sought after young actors in Hollywood.

'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' teaser dissects this inherently American crime

December 27, 2017

When searching for subjects to chronicle in FX’s American Crime Story, executive producer Nina Jacobson must answer one fundamental question: “What we’re interested in is what makes this an American crime, a crime America is guilty of — not just the characters we’re exploring.”

The new behind-the-scenes look at season 2 uncovers an answer: the murder at the center of The Assassination of Gianni Versace was an American crime for “the politics of homosexuality as they played out across America in the 1990s.”

“This particular manhunt is the largest failed F.B.I. manhunt in history,” actor Darren Criss (Glee) says in previewing the next chapter of the Emmy-winning anthology series.

Criss
portrays Andrew Cunanan, the serial killer whose death spree targeting the gay community culminated in the highly publicized murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace. As Edgar Ramirez, who plays Versace, says in the teaser, the new season is both about the events leading up to his death and how it could’ve been avoided.

“The truth is, fear and prejudice, unfortunately, is always in fashion,” Criss quips.

The series is executive produced by American Horror Story‘s Ryan Murphy, who also directed the premiere episode. The cast features Ricky Martin as Versace’s longtime love Antonio D’Amicoand Penelope Cruz as Versace’s sister, Donatella.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story will premiere on FX this Jan. 17 at 10 p.m.

Ok, with this next post, I'm beginning to be somewhat apprehensive.  I hope the scenes are not too graphically gruesome, but it sounds like it's possible they are.   Or maybe it's like Alfred Hitchcock, where the viewer's imagination is more powerful than if the scene graphically showed violence on the screen?  David Wiegand is a critic with The San Francisco Chronicle, which is the major news media of San Francisco.

Darren Criss Shares the Story Behind His Racy Selfie!
Darren Criss broke the internet back when he shared a photo of himself wearing absolutely nothing and just a speedo held in front of himself to stay modest.

Now, the 30-year-old actor is sharing the story behind the picture, which he snapped on the set of The Assassination of Gianni Versace earlier this year.

Darren opened up during his visit with The Ladygang podcast.

“I was wearing this ridiculous red speedo thing and thank god it was for the show because pictures had come out, the paparazzi had caught us. We’re shooting a scene on the beach and it’s Miami. It’s fair game, we’re out in the open so there are photos of me in a scene with Max Greenfield and I’m in this red speedo and I look kind of ridiculous. We’re all kind of giggling about this on set, like, ‘Oh my god, this is getting picked up.’ And I kind of wanted to take it back for myself,“ Darren said.

“At the end of that day, I was completely sunburned and was essentially the same color as the speedo and so I’m looking at myself in the mirror thinking this is too funny. So after those photos went out, I was like, ‘I have a better photo.’ So that was that,“ Darren added.

Darren also said he was very proud of the caption, which "no one read.” It was, “So what’s more red? My sunburn, my speedo, or YOUR FACE??? #ACSVersace.”

'American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace' Primer: Everything to Know About Season 2

December 21, 2017

After an award-winning debut season, FX's American Crime Story anthology will turn its lens to another major 1990s event: the murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace in front of his Miami Beach mansion in 1997. The Assassination of Gianni Versace will follow the events leading up to the 50-year-old’s death through the eyes of the designer (played by Edgar Ramirez), his sister, Donatella Versace (Penelope Cruz), his partner, Antonio D'Amico (Ricky Martin) and the 27-year-old serial killer who shot him, Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss).

Ahead of the show’s Jan. 17 debut, here’s everything to know about the second season of Ryan Murphy’s award-winning series.

What Happened


On the morning of July 15, 1997, the fashion designer had just returned from a morning walk when he was shot and killed by Andrew Cunanan, a con artist serial killer who had gone on a cross-country killing spree. The San Diego native had murdered two acquaintances in the San Diego gay community, a Chicago real estate developer, and a New Jersey man whose car he stole. The four other slayings took place between April 27 and May 9, and Cunanan was on the run — but managed to elude authorities until eight days after Versace’s murder, when he killed himself on a Miami houseboat just blocks from Versace’s villa.

The Source Material


Much like season one’s People vs. O.J. Simpson was inspired by L.A. Times journalist Jeffrey Toobin’s book about the trial, The Run of His Life, The Assassination of Gianni Versace pulls from Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth’s book about the murder, Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History. According to creator Murphy, the second season will delve into Cunanan’s mind and cover the events leading up to Versace’s death. The season will touch on the four other murders, as well as Cunanan’s life in the San Diego gay community, the homophobia present in the culture at the time, and even the ‘90s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell military policy.“We’re trying to talk about a crime within a social idea,” he told reporters during the summer. “Versace, who was [Andrew Cunanan’s] last victim, did not have to die. One of the reasons [Cunanan] was able to make his way across the country and pick off these victims, many of whom were gay, was because of homophobia at the time.”

In the upcoming television anthology, Glee star Darren Criss will portray Cunanan. “At the end of the day, if you think of the worst person that you know, that’s done the worst things ever, you have more in common with them than not,” Criss said of playing Cunanan in an interview with radio personality Elvis Duran. “The fact is, those differences are big, but they’re small in number … So, what’s kind of been a joy for me is to find as many redeeming things as possible in someone that you fathom as something so horrible and to really get the audience to ask themselves, ‘At what point could this have been me?”

Darren Criss via Edgar Ramirez IG Story (12-11-17)

Cunanan's hand-waving is similar, but Darren doesn't quite wave his hand in such an overly enthusiastic way.  In that short little scene, Darren does a good job of doing several transitions in Cunanan's facial expression.   First, an "oh sh*t" expression when he sees the little girl, then he decided "I better smile" and he gives a little smile, then he decided to go all out with his saccharine smile.  Or maybe here, Darren is showing the dichotomy of Cunanan, how he can be a ruthless killer, yet smile sweetly at kids?

And yeah, totally agree, Max Greenfield's character asked exactly what everyone is thinking (and dreading to hear the answer).

This show is going to be so good.  I expect if Versace is anything like The People v. O.J. Simpson, then the supporting actors will also do a wonderful job of acting.  You can already see how good Max Greenfield is in this scene.  His facial expression so perfectly captures the dread that the viewers are feeling.

‘Versace: American Crime Story’ Will Actually Be About Being Gay in the ‘90s


12/12/17

Sex oozes everywhere, from the sweat of the South Florida beach setting to the lingering gaze on star Darren Criss’ exceptionally sculpted (briefly nude) body.

A hypnotizing, wordless first act, backed by a rousing string-heavy score, gives a Shakespearean start to the whole endeavor, echoed, of course, in the horror of the murder by gunshot that left Versace bleeding to death at the front gate of his home in 1997.

[. . . ]

Only the first episode of FX’s newest installment of its American Crime Story franchise, the first follow-up to its awards-guzzling People v. O.J. Simpson season, screened Monday night, for a room packed with curious celebrity fans including Glenn Close, Patricia Clarkson, and Andrew Rannells. That’s not enough for a proper review of the new series, which officially premieres Jan. 17. But creator Ryan Murphy, the producers and writers, and stars Criss, Edgar Ramirez, and Ricky Martin were on hand to tease the season and its perhaps surprising greater message.

More than a murder mystery or a lavish look at the life of a fashion legend, Versace will tackle what it was like to be gay in the 1990s.

“Like in O.J., the themes we’re tackling in this show seem so modern to me,” Murphy said, referring to how the American Crime Story found renewed resonance in the identity politics, race and class bias, media circus, and misogyny surrounding the O.J. Simpson trial. “They don’t seem like they’re frozen in amber,” he continued. “They feel very alive and plucked from today’s headlines.”



The Versace season is heavily based on journalist Maureen Orth’s book Vulgar Favors: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

Orth had been investigating serial killer Andrew Cunanan (played by Criss in the series) for months before he murdered Gianni Versace (Ramirez) on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion while Versace’s partner (Martin) was inside. Cunanan had evaded police while successfully murdering five men that he knew, the last being Versace. Orth’s reporting revealed a highly intelligent sociopath—he once tested at 147 for his IQ—with tortured feelings about being gay, and perhaps even jealousy that he had all these gifts and promise yet somehow wasn’t succeeding in the same way as these other men.

“We didn’t understand, and you’ll see as the show goes on, that Versace was the last victim, and Andrew had killed people that he knew before this,” executive producer Brad Simpson said. “As we began to unpack the show, we realized this was about the politics of being out in the 1990s.”

Murphy revealed that the season will be telling the story backwards. The first and second episodes deal with the assassination of Versace and the manhunt for Cunanan in Miami, and then the series will head back in time so that, by Episode 8, we are seeing Cunanan as a child. Then the final episode will deal with his eventual demise.

Broad cultural themes will of course be explored along the way. Said executive producer Nina Jacobsen, “I think what we realized during the first season is that we wanted every season of the show to ultimately be about a crime that America feels guilty of, and find a way to sort of explore what is a cultural crime as well as a specific crime, or in this case a series of crimes. In this case, to try to explore and re-conjure what it was to be gay in the ’90s.”

Orth explained that Cunanan was from San Diego, a big military town, growing up while “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was in the news, which created agony for people who were conflicted over how they felt about being gay, whether they could express themselves, or whether they could be publicly out. The parents of two of Cunanan’s victims didn’t even know their sons were gay until after they were murdered, for a sense of the environment.

Equally fascinating was the incompetency of the police and investigators pursuing Cunanan, who struggled with infiltrating the gay community and understanding its nuances, something Orth said didn’t necessarily reflect a homophobia, per se, but an ignorance.

Then of course there’s the ever-resonant idea of fame, and the craven pursuit of it that is very much embedded in the fabric of today’s culture.

[. . . ]

Murphy first dangled the idea of playing Cunanan in front of Criss, whom he had worked with on Glee three years ago, going so far as to call it the role of the young actor’s career.

There’s an uncanny resemblance between Criss and the real-life Cunanan, down to the fact that they are both part Filipino. With just the first hour to judge by, Criss is extremely watchable in a complicated and potentially off-putting role: a sociopathic narcissist, whose gay self-loathing manifests in an unsettling violent streak.

“I think stories that bend people’s sense of empathy are what really interest me,” Criss said. “It’s Shakespearean. Is has this very operatic feel. It’s Greek in scale. I’m a good, old fashioned acting student. Put me in a Greek tragedy or a Shakespeare play. If I get to do that on FX with Ryan Murphy, then fuck yeah, let’s do it.”

Inside the New York Preview of Ryan Murphy’s  The Assassination of Gianni Versace:  American Crime Story

December 12, 2017

A few lucky New Yorkers got a sneak peek of Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace Monday night at Metrograph. The cast including Darren Criss, Ricky Martin, and Édgar Ramirez attended the special screening along with Murphy and executive producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

The second installment of Murphy’s anthology series, premiering January 17 on FX, follows the murder of Gianni Versace (Ramirez) and the nine-day manhunt for Andrew Cunanan (Criss) as well as the personal lives of each man.

Criss
had previously worked on two of Murphy’s projects (Glee and American Horror Story), but hadn’t had the opportunity to work directly with him. “I’ve always appreciated his tutelage, his insight, and his encouragement,” the actor said. “Everyone knows him for the quality of his work so to see him and work with him in tandem was really surreal and a real thrill for me.”

To prepare for the role of Cunanan, Criss read Maureen Orth’s book (which the show is based on) and spoke to people who knew the murderer. “Unlike the O.J. case where there was an overwhelming amount of information, this was very limited. He was a thousand different people with a thousand different people,” he said. “You had to speculate a lot of things; at one moment he’s ‘A’ and at the next moment he’s ‘B’.”

‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace’: 6 Things We Learned From FX’s First Screening

December 11, 2017

Darren Criss has taken on a “Shakespearean” role in bringing the tortured life story of serial killer Andrew Cunanan to life in FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace.”

So said “Versace” director and executive producer Ryan Murphy on Monday night as he “played Barbara Walters” during a Q&A with stars and producers that followed the series’ first public screening, held at New York City’s Metrograph theater.

“Versace” stars Criss, Edgar Ramirez, Ricky Martin, writer Tom Rob Smith, author Maureen Orth, and executive producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson offered insights into the limited series that has the hard task of following “The People V. O.J. Simpson” as the second installment of FX’s “American Crime Story” franchise.

Here are 6 things we learned from the first look at “Versace”:


  • Like “People V. O.J. Simpson,” “Versace” takes on larger cultural and societal issues beyond the sensational details of how Cunanan gunned down fashion superstar Versace on the steps of his Miami Beach villa on July 15, 1997. Through the once-and-future prism of a period drama, the first episode raises timely questions about discrimination against LGBT crime victims by law enforcement, disparity in health care for rich and poor, and the sick market for cashing in on grisly celebrity deaths. Versace was one of the first major public figures to live his life openly as a gay man, and the then-and-now perspective on cultural attitudes toward the LGBT community is clearly a major theme, based on the first episode. “We want every season of this show to be about that crime that America is guilty of,” Jacobson said. “We wanted to re-conjure what it meant to be gay in the 1990s.”
  • Don’t expect a simple linear storyline in “Assassination’s” nine episodes. “We’re telling the story backwards. The first and second episodes are about the assassination (of Versace) and the manhunt, and then we go back in time. In episode eight you meet Andrew Cunanan as a child. The final episode deals with his eventual demise,” Murphy said.
  • Orth, author of the 1999 book “Vulgar Favors: The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” said Cunanan was product of the modern age with his obsession with achieving a measure of celebrity. He was “besotted” with the idea of fame. “He was willing to kill for fame. He wanted to be everything Versace was, but he wasn’t willing to work for it,” Orth said. She added a harsh observation about the nation’s current political climate: “The idea that he was willing to kill for fame — there’s a line from there to getting famous from a sex tape like the Kardashians down to becoming president of the United States because you’re a reality TV star,” Orth opined.
  • Criss became emotionally invested in playing the emotionally disturbed serial killer. The role is without question a career-accelerator for the former “Glee” star. Murphy noted that Criss is in every episode as the story drills down on the factors that made Cunanan go so wrong. Versace was the fifth victim on a killing spree in 1997. “Stories that bend people’s sense of empathy are what interest me,” Criss said. “We’re trying to humanize somebody who is so conventionally vilified,” he said. Murphy added: “We’re not interested in the killer-of-the-week approach,” he said. “We’re trying to understand the psychology of someone who would be driven to do those deeds.”
  • Ramirez also got under the skin of Versace, even though his character spends most of episode 1 on a gurney in the morgue. Recreating the scenes of Versace’s murder on the actual site of his villa in Miami was a challenging process, said Martin, who plays Versace’s longtime lover, Antonio. “It was a profound, moving experience,” Martin said. “The crew was crying, the actors were crying — it was very intense.” Ramirez felt he channeled the soul of his character during his big death scene. He believed Versace lived through the trauma of being taken to the emergency room before he was declared dead at 9:21 a.m. “He was there,” Ramirez said. “He wanted to express something, but he couldn’t, about the insanity and the tragedy that (his murder) could have been prevented and it wasn’t.”
  • Criss also emphasized the importance of the production having access to the Versace villa. “That house — it bleeds his soul,” Criss said. “His creativity exits in every wall and every doorknob in the house. It’s a living vestige of his legacy. I did feel his presence. I had to say a prayer for thanks and an apology for us exposing it. I’m hoping some light can be made from this very, very dark thing.”

Yes, I agree.  I would love to hear what Mario Lopez thought, since he said Andrew Cunanan lived really close to his family's home.  I know  Mario said that his father knew the family, but I don't remember if Mario said he, himself, met or knew Andrew.

'Versace' star Darren Criss feasts on Italian meal at South Beach eatery

November 21, 2017


Darren Criss likes to give back.

The actor has been traveling back and forth to Miami to finish up scenes for the much anticipated “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.”

The “Glee” star plays Andrew Cunanan, the serial killer who gunned down designer Gianni Versace on the steps of his South Beach mansion in the early morning of July 15, 1997.

The trailer was just released for the TV series (airing in January on FX) and it looks creepy AF.

Over the weekend, Criss took some of his crew members to Via Emilia 9 in Miami Beach to celebrate.

The singer/actor ordered just about everything on the menu, the spy continues, and posed for selfies with just about anyone who asked.

Onlookers report he said it was the highlight of his many trips down south and the eatery was one of the best, most authentic Italian hidden gems in town.

One of the most anticipated mini-series of 2018 will be American Crime Story, where former Glee actor Darren Criss will play Andrew Cunanan, who famously killed Gianni Versace in July of 1997.  This version of ACS follow up the original one, which focused on the infamous case of O.J. Simpson.  That subsequently won a bunch of awards, as the latest installment is expected to do the same as well next year.


The 10 episode series, which also stars Ricky Martin, Penelope Cruz and Annette Bening, just wrapped up shooting in Miami, and Darren looks super happy as he took some of his crew members to a local hot spot to celebrate.

Darren and his crew stopped by Via Emilia 9 over the weekend, which is a popular Italian eatery in the heart of Miami Beach.  Other famous people who have stopped on by include Anthony Bordain, who said it was one of the best hidden gems he’s ever discovered.  Looks like I may need to make a trip to Miami pronto!

Are you excited for the new American Crime Story?  Do you think Darren will shine in this role?

American Crime Story: The Assassination Of Gianni Versace – Why you should watch the next big true crime drama

Nov 21, 2017

American Crime Story: The People V OJ Simpson was one of 2016’s most compelling TV shows.

Adapted from Jeffrey Toobin’s The Run Of His Life novel, the 10 part series chronicled the infamous OJ murder case.

It gained worldwide praise for its writing and direction, and was a critical success, winning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe awards.

Luckily, fans of American Crime Story won’t have to wait much longer for the show’s second season.

The self-contained miniseries will return in early 2018 and will explore the murder of Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace.

Here’s everything you need to know about FX’s upcoming true crime anthology.

What is it about?


The Assassination of Gianni Versace is based on American author Maureen Orth’s 1999 novel Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, And The Largest Failed Manhunt In US History.

It centres on the events surrounding the famous designer’s murder on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion on July 15, 1997.

The Versace founder was shot dead at the age of 50 by 27-year-old American serial killer Andrew Cunanan, who’d murdered as least four other people.

Cunanan was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list until he took his own life eight days after assassinating Versace.

Who’s starring in it?


At the beginning of this year, Ryan Murphy’s frequent collaborator Darren Criss (of Glee fame) joined the cast alongside Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez.

They will be starring as Andrew Cunanan and Gianni Versace respectively.

Penelope Cruz will play Gianni’s sister and fellow fashion designer Donatella, while Ricky Martin will play Antonio D’Amico, Gianni’s partner of 15 years who was drinking coffee on the veranda of their home when he heard the gunshots.

Other cast members for season two are Max Greenfield as Gianni’s brother Santo, and Finn Wittrock as Cunanan’s first victim Jeffrey Trail.

Annaleigh Ashford and Nico Evers-Swindell round out the main cast as Cunanan’s friends, Lizzie and Phil Cote.

Where was it filmed?


At the 2016 TCA Press Tour, Ryan Murphy talked about filming at the actual Versace mansion.

The fashion designer’s house was sold in the years following his death and it was subsequently turned into a hotel.

As a result, the cast and crew were able to shoot many of the key moments in Versace’s home.

The assassination scene was eerily filmed in the real location where Versace was killed.

How will it be different from The People V OJ Simpson?


If you’re worried about The Assassination Of Gianni Versace being just another rehash of The People V OJ Simpson, you can rest easy.

The shows might be set in the same era and surround very wealthy celebrities, but this version follows a manhunt rather than a court trial.

It also explores a very different celebrity figure; OJ was an African-American sports star, while Versace was an openly gay Italian fashion designer who frequented the international party scene.

The fashion and set design will therefore have a very different style.

Why should I watch it?


The Assassination of Gianni Versace explores a tragic event in history that many people – particular those in their teens and 20s – won’t necessarily remember.

It also acts as a sort of tribute to Versace himself.

He was a trailblazer, a trendsetter and a style icon who lived life by his own rules.

Ryan Murphy’s shows are always culturally, politically and socially relevant, and this season of American Crime Story deals with issues of wealth, homophobia in the 90s, and fame.

If the writing, direction and performances are anything like they were in The People V OJ Simpson, we can expect another gripping, grueling and truly memorable series of American Crime Story.

When’s it on and how can I watch it?


The 10 episode series will premiere in America on January 17, 2018 on FX.

A UK date is yet to be announced but it’s expected in early 2018 and will air on BBC Two, before hitting Netflix soon after.

The People V O.J Simpson, which also aired on BBC Two, premiered on 15 February 2016.

Jeremy wrote:Well, I expected him to have less social life and I also didn't know he met Versace before the murder.


I think some of the interviews talked about how Cunanan was not what one would expect, because he was a spree killer who could be likeable, and charming (this is part of the reason why Darren is perfect for this role, beside being half Filipino like Cunanan, Darren is so good at networking and is naturally charming).   I could be wrong about this, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe it hasn't been confirmed that Versace actually met Cunanan, although Cunanan boasted he had met Versace a couple/a few times.

And yes, the trailer was a surprise for me, because of how much focus Cunanan received.  I am very pleased about this!

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is going deep into the mind of Andrew Cunanan, the serial killer who fatally shot fashion designer Gianni Versace in front of his Miami home in 1997. FX has released the first trailer for the dark, glittering series, executive produced by the impossibly busy Ryan Murphy, and it quickly hones in on Cunanan’s grim world.

Bright-eyed star Darren Criss plays the killer, going into full American Psycho mode as he leans into the role of a hustler who embeds himself in Versace’s world. There’s a near-perfect montage of Cunanan’s dark evolution, with shots of Criss screaming into the ocean, wielding a pair of deadly scissors over a potential victim, and standing alone in a room, his face and body covered in blood.

The trailer also offers glimpses of the rest of the high-profile cast. Penélope Cruz plays a beautifully heartbroken Donatella Versace, Gianni’s sister, as she promises to maintain her brother’s legacy. “I will not allow that man, that nobody, to kill my brother twice,” she vows. Donatella would go on to run her brother’s empire, maintaining Versace’s reputation as a high-end fashion brand. She’s still a power player to this day, currently preparing to co-host next year’s Met Gala with Rihanna and Amal Clooney.

Ricky Martin also makes an appearance, playing Antonio D'Amico, a model and designer who was also Gianni’s longtime partner. Then, there’s Édgar Ramírez as Versace himself, fully inhabiting the luxe role of the high-flying designer. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story will premiere on Jan. 17.

The First Trailer for 'Versace; American Crime Story' Is Incredible

FX has released the first official trailer for its second season of American Crime Story, and it's a chilling mix of '90s glamour and blood-spattered horror. This season, titled The Assassination of Gianni Versace, chronicles the murder of fashion designer Versace on the front steps of his Miami home, the culmination of serial killer Andrew Cunanan's three-month murder spree.

The trailer focuses on Cunanan's dark obsession with Versace, opening with a gunshot and Versace's partner, Antonio D'Amico (Ricky Martin) screaming for help before zeroing in on Cunanan (Darren Criss) and his social-climbing aspirations. As he closes in on his murderous rage, his voiceover declares, "This world has wasted me, and yet this world also made you, Mr. Versace, into a star. You're not better than me. We're the same. The only difference is you got lucky."

[. . . ]

Criss' eerie portrayal of Cunanan might surprise longtime fans with such a stark departure from the actor's Glee days. The series also marks Cruz's first television role.

The First Trailer for The Assassination of Gianni Versace; American Crime Story is Bloody and Opulent

You’ve seen the neon-soaked clip of Darren Criss in his murder Speedo. You’ve seen the stills of the cast luxuriating in high fashion “Miami Medici Chic.” Now you can see the first extended look at footage from The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. Everyone is serving face. Everyone is beautiful. And the way Criss says, “I know people,” should be an Emmy for Your Consideration clip on its own. Versace premieres on January 17.

Watch Edgar Ramirez as Versace in First American Crime Story Trailer

Also watch it for Darren Criss looking like the hottest murderer of all time.

“Murder but make it fashion” might as well be the tagline for the upcoming season of American Crime Story. After an award-winning first season that focused on OJ Simpson, Ryan Murphy Series #451 has moved to South Florida for The Assassination of Gianni Versace and judging by the new trailer, we’re in for a top-quality, glamorous murder story.

In the new season, Murphy will focus on the murder of Gianni Versace by serial killer Andrew Cunanan, who killed four people before the fashion designer, and committed suicide eight days after his death. It’s a shocking story and yeah, we’re here for it, but let’s talk about how glorious the cast is for a second.

Penelope Cruz and Edgar Ramirez look flawless as Donatella and Gianni, respectively, and Ricky Martin looks very Ricky Martin as Gianni’s lover Antonio D’Amico. Then there’s Darren Criss a long, long way from Glee Club as the murderous Cunanan. Somehow, even as he’s murdering people, he looks high fashion.

The new season starts on January 17th, so if you’re one of the 10 people who haven’t wanted the first season of the show, you’ve got a great excuse to ignore your family this holiday season.

Wait, folks are talking awards before they have seen an episode?   Um, maybe we should wait until we see an episode before we start talking awards?  No pressure, Darren.   :amused  But at the same time,  I can't blame people for showing their Darren-love.   heart   I understand!

'American Crime Story: Versace' trailer is a sizzle reel for Darren Criss' inevitable Emmy

Will Darren Criss earn his first Emmy for American Crime Story: Versace? Judging by the trailer, the odds are in his favor.

[. . . ]

The trailer for the second installment in the American Crime Story series showcases what appears to be Murphy’s second Emmy submission sizzle reel. And instead of the Sarah Paulsons and Jessica Langes of the Murphy catalogue, another person steals the spotlight this time around – Darren Criss.

[. . . ]

There is no shortage of Darren Criss footage in the trailer,. . .

Last we saw Darren Criss on television, he was manipulating space-time on The Flash and Supergirl as the Music Meister. Before that, he was eating cat food and being cut to pieces by Kathy Bates’ AHS: Hotel character.

Cast as Andrew Cunanan in February, Criss’ transformation into the serial killer who, like Criss, was half Filipino, caught the eyes of social media as he filmed on location in cutoff shorts, his hair free from gel. But fans of Criss know that those shorts are nothing new. The actor wore much less during his turn in the Broadway revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Which is the exact production that led executive producer Brad Simpson to see Criss as the only person for the role.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in June, Simpson recalled, “Once every night he jumps into somebody’s lap and makes out with them…It was very charming and a very Cunanan thing to do, to be a little devilish. Cunanan charmed people and then turned them off. We’re talking about a serial killer people liked.”

In the same interview, Criss noted, “Actors are only as good as the parts they get. You can only be as good as those moments you get. This is one of those ship-coming-in moments where Ryan has really given me this massive opportunity, and I’d like to think I am up for the challenge. There’s zero anxiety.”

And Criss showed up to work. In the minute and half we see his character go to work, lying, seducing, coming unhinged, and murdering Versace. He is truly captivating. You hang on his words, find the slight shifts in his facial expressions. Note the moments he is working hard to get someone right where he wants them. The see how quickly it switches to a scene where he is alone in the aftermath.

Just as he took you inside Marcia Clark’s personal trial as she prosecuted O. J. Simpson, Murphy prepares to take you into the world of a killer that earned a smile and a nod as he slipped under the radar of a manhunt.

It’s going to be an exciting and wild ride to watch Criss explore this character. It will be even better in the fall watching Criss smile at the camera as the nominees for best actor in a miniseries are announced at the Emmys.

Trailer for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story has Arrived

The wait is over, we have the first full trailer of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and boy is it action-packed.

The series stars Edgar Ramirez as the fashion designer, and Glee alumnus Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan, the spree killer who murdered Versace on the steps of his Miami mansion 20 years ago. The cast also includes Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace and Ricky Martin as Antonio D’Amico.

The trailer shows Cunanan infiltrating the Miami scene in order to get close to the fashion designer, but it also shows his darker side when we realise that Versace was not his first victim. In reality, Cunanan killed four men before he slayed the fashion designer. Although the series is centered on the murder of Versace, it is clear that we will get to see a fully rounded view of the man who pulled the trigger, given that the manhunt for Cunanan ended with the killer committing suicide.

If the trailer is any indication, the full series which will premiere on FX on January 17 is going to be full of exceptional acting and drama, with Ramirez, Cruz, and Criss all perfectly embodying the real people they are playing. Criss in particular as Cunanan is chilling as we see a fantasist who is convinced he is somebody he is not, and no one can deny the resemblance between Criss and the real-life Cunanan.

The series was written by Tom Rob Smith and is based on the book Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. Historyby Maureen Orth. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are returning as executive producers and are joined by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

The first season of the show, The People vs O.J. Simpson won a multitude of awards including Golden Globes, Emmys, and a BAFTA, and it would not be unexpected to see The Assassination of Gianni Versace do similarly well, with fingers crossed nominations for Criss.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story will premiere on January 17 on FX, with FX+ subscribers being able to watch on January 12.

Darren Criss is the standout as killer Andrew Cuanan (Picture: FX)

The series, directed by Ryan Murphy, boasts a very impressive cast including Penelope Cruz, Edgar Ramirez and Darren Criss.


Singer Ricky Martin is also in the cast playing Versace’s boyfriend.

The FX show will focus on the high profile murder of Gianni Versace (Ramirez), the founder of heavyweight brand Versace, in 1997 and the mystery around his death.

Glee star Criss is already looking like the standout performance as Versace’s murderer Andrew Cunanan, while Cruz is suitably stoic – and blonde! – as Versace’s sister Donatella.

As well as Versace, it will also look at other murders committed by Cunanan during his three-month spree.

American Crime Story: The Assassinatio Of Gianni Versace kick off in America on January 17 and will air on BBC Two at a currently unspecified date.

Wow, the video contained so much.  Am so pleased to see Darren have this much focus.  celebrate   I am a little overwhelmed.  So much disconnect for me to see Darren's face, and then to see him/Cunanan winding duct tape around the face of the actor playing (I assume) Lee Miglin, and later to see Andrew Cunanan drenched in blood.   I can hear the different vocal tone and diction of Cunanan, versus the way Darren talks (I wonder if there are audio tapes of Cunanan or not).  Darren is so good at changing his voice and diction (his acting in Hedwig was proof of this).   The production just looks so impressive, the dichotomy of the glamour and glitz of Versace's life, with the struggles of Cunanan.  As Ryan and the cast have said:  The creator versus the destroyer.  I also thought Penelope Cruz's short scene was impressive in terms of her delivery, that she would not let this nobody kill her brother twice.

'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' Official Trailer Unveiled

November 14, 2017

FX is ready to deliver the next true crime obsession.

The network on Tuesday unveiled the official trailer for the The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story the same night as the season finale of American Horror Story: Cult.

The second season of the anthology explores the July 1997 assassination of famed fashion designer Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramirez) as well as his murderer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss), who was also behind four other slayings before he ultimately killed himself eight days later.

Tuesday’s trailer includes the first released footage from the series ahead of its Jan. 17 premiere.

The minute-plus-long video gives viewers an extended look at Penelope Cruz’s first TV role, playing the murdered designer’s sister Donatella, as well as Ramirez as the famed Versace himself.

However, Glee grad Criss’ haunting turn as Cunanan will also turn heads. “You’re not better than me. We’re the same,” Andrew says in voiceover. “The only difference is you got lucky.”

Unlike the first season of American Crime Story, the Emmy-winning hit The People v. O.J. Simpson, season two takes place before and after the central murder. In addition to showing the bloody aftermath of Gianni’s murder, there are also scenes of him and Andrew together as Andrew’s lying streak begins. 

Viewers will also recognize Ricky Martin, as Gianni’s partner, and New Girl’s Max Greenfield, as a friend of Andrew’s, in the footage below.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace premieres Jan. 17 on FX.

We knew we were looking forward to The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, but we didn’t know just how much until right now. 

FX just debuted the first official, full-length trailer for season two of the anthology series and boy does it look incredible. We were already prepared to watch Edgar Ramirez and Penélope Cruz accept their awards, and now we’re over here campaigning for Darren Criss too. January 17 can’t come soon enough!

Versace is the follow-up to last year’s award-winning The People v. O.J. Simpson and stars Ramirez as Gianni Versace, Cruz as his sister Donatella, and Criss as Versace’s assassin, Andrew Cunanan. Ricky Martin stars as Gianni’s boyfriend Antonio D'Amico, and the cast also includes Annaleigh Ashford, Max Greenfield, Finn Wittrock, and Nico Evers-Swindell.

'The Assassination of Gianni Versace' Trailer: Tragic Tale Of A Born Liar & A Fashion Icon

November 14, 2017


“Everything you see around us — this house, this company — was his life. I will not allow that man, that nobody, to kill my brother twice.” So says Donatella Versace (Penelope Cruz) in the new trailer for The Assassination of Gianni Versace, the second installment of FX’s American Crime Story.

The footage premiered during tonight’s finale of the network’s other anthology drama, American Horror Story: Cult. Watch it above.

The story follows Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss), a prolific liar and boaster who sold his body to older men and also was involved in petty crimes and drugs. In April 1997, he began a cross-country killing spree that claimed four lives and landed him on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. But his murderous ways weren’t done: On July 15 that year, he shot and killed Versace (Edgar Ramirez) on the steps of the iconic fashion designer’s Miami villa. Cunanan would kill himself about a week later as police closed in on him.

Ricky Martin also stars in the series from Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, who exec produce along Brad Falchuk, Alexis Martin Woodall, Dan Minahan and Tom Rob Smith. Smith penned the script, and Murphy directs the premiere episode. The Assassination of Gianni Versace is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.

FX has its work cut out in trying to top the commercial and awards success of the first run of American Crime Story. Last year’s The People v. O.J. Simpson scored record ratings and destroyed its Emmy rivals, scooping nine trophies including Outstanding Limited Series.

I'm really really impatient, so I checked when the first trailer for season 1 came out to get an idea of when we might be able to expect one for this season - it was two months before the first episode. Also they premiered the first Versace teaser during the first episode of AHS and a new one every other week since, so I'd at least expect another teaser in two weeks, but since it's the finale it just makes sense to me to pair it with a real trailer that they would probably release around that time frame anyway.
I hope they agree with my reasoning. Topics tagged under acsversace on Darren Criss Fan Community - Page 7 3308115737 Unless of course they want to release it earlier, I'd be okay with that too.

The Assassination of Gianni Versace:  American Crime Story/  Season 2:  Reflection Preview
