Lifetime is doubling down on Donatella Versace, setting an original scripted movie and airing a documentary on late fashion icon Gianni Versace in October.

House of Versace will star Gina Gershon (Bound, Killer Joe) as Donatella Versace as she carries on her brother's legacy following his 1997 slaying. Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars) will play Gianni Versace, Raquel Welch is set as their Aunt Lucia and Colm Feore (Thor) will play their brother, Santo.

The original movie is based on Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Ball's book House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival and centers on Donatella, who after her brother's slaying is thrust into the spotlight as head designer of his fashion empire. At first ridiculed by critics worldwide, Donatella falls victim to drug addiction and nearly bankrupts the company. With the help of her family, including daughter Allegra, Aunt Lucia (Welch) and brother Santo (Feore), she enters rehab to confront her demons and soon comes back stronger than ever to reignite the beloved Versace brand with her own vision and builds one of the most powerful and influential fashion houses ever known.
