Ricky Martin | THINK Magazine

Now, after seven years as a proud gay man, Martin is starring in his first gay role as Antonio D’Amico, fashion designer Gianni Versace’s former lover, in FX’s American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, premiering in 2018. To him, this means a lot to be able to portray someone who he can identify with in terms of sexuality, and the quiet struggle that comes with it. “We’re going to go mainstream with a story that talks about homophobia, that talks about hate, that talks about indifference,” he explained. “It’s something that I really wanted to be loud about.”

To Martin, the relatability factor is all too real, as he said that he would often get emotional on set while filming. “[Filming] took me back to eight years ago when I was in the closet and it just moved me,” he admitted. Despite the emotional tides he deals with on set, he’s proud of the show and how it will give an insider’s look into Gianni Versace’s life. The murder of Versace on his own front steps rocked the whole world when it occurred back in 1997. D’Amico was the first to run to his lover’s side when he found him shot dead on the steps to his Miami mansion. They had been dating for 15 years before his partner’s life was taken. The show will explore the relationship between D’Amico and Versace, Versace’s personal life, and the events leading up to his murder.

Middleburg Farewell: Nicholas Brittel, Greta Gerwig, and “American Crime Story” – Blog – The Film Experience

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story

Since Middleburg largely takes place at a single resort, there are several panels and discussions in their coziest event space. The last on the menu was a discussion about the forthcoming miniseries The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story which is the second season of that anthology series which began with the Emmy-winning The People Vs Oj Simpson…

A correction: though it billed itself as a preview of the series it was in actuality a discussion with the reporter/author Maureen Orth about her non-fiction book “Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History”. Orth was an expert on Cunanan before he took the life of the famous fashion designer so she was in the right place at the right time to write that bestseller. Her book served as an inspiration for the series. Her talk was mostly focused on Cunanan but she suspects the miniseries, which she hasn’t seen yet, will lean more heavily on the Versace elements of his killing spree than her book does since they’re obviously the public fascination. One interesting note: she will be seeing the series before it premieres and it’s in her contract that she can withdraw her name from the project if she doesn’t like what they’ve done with it! So theoretically it could go from “adapted from the book by…” to just “screenplay by Tom Rob Smith”. (For what it’s worth Tom Rob Smith wrote the excellent BBC miniseries London Spy so there’s reason to hope this miniseries will be great.)
