Ryan Murphy has spilled new details about the latest version of American Crime Story.
00:05
FX's The Assassination of Gianni Versace will actually be told in reverse.
00:10
Murphy, joined by much of his anthology's new cast for a panel Wednesday evening,
00:14
said that the first episode of the new season will begin with Versace's murder
00:18
and then show how it came to be.
00:20
Murphy also revealed that his big follow-up to The People vs. O.J. Simpson
00:24
will be about a greater issue, homophobia,
00:26
and how that ultimately led to the famous designer's fatal shooting.
00:30
The series creator told a crowd of reporters on the Fox lot,
00:34
Cunanan is known to have killed at least four people before he shot Versace
00:54
on July 15, 1997, in Miami Beach.
00:57
Like the racism that played such a role in the O.J. Simpson trial,
01:01
Murphy added that the homophobia at the time of Versace's murder
01:04
is just as relevant today, particularly with the president we have.
01:08
Another topic of the panel was the feelings of the Versace family,
01:12
specifically sister and fashion house heir Donatella.
01:15
Murphy did not mince words, saying,
01:16
Ricky Martin, who plays Antonio D'Amico, Versace's longtime partner,
01:25
was present at the panel.
01:27
Martin revealed that he had just spoken to D'Amico for the first time earlier in the day
01:31
to ease any of his reservations.
01:33
Martin said,
01:34
As for the title, Murphy said it is very intentional that they do not use the word murder.
01:45
I think the word assassination has a political overtone.
01:48
It denotes someone who's taken a life to prove a point.
01:51
And I think that's what Andrew Cunanan did.
01:53
The assassination of Gianni Versace premieres on FX in January.
01:57
