Sony has called this film their Gone with the Wind

Daniel Craig, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney were all at one point mentioned for the lead male role.

Angelina Jolie was attached to the project to play Cleopatra for close to a decade. But with the project not being able to get out of "development hell" for a number of reasons since then and Jolie getting older in age, she became detached from the project in late 2018/early 2019.

No guarantee about this happening considering this was more like a rumor and then denis got confirmed to be working on Dune.

Would rather see someone else direct a Cleopatra movie.

Denis doing this would be insane
Especially with a black cleopatra

This has potential

In for Villeneuve, keep angelina tho

Matter of fact, they better cast an egyptian actress

Whew, not familiar with her work but she looks the part

They'd probably cast the most white passing Egyptians

There was a LOT of backlash when that "gods of egypt" joint came out. Movie bombed and the studio was forced to recognize their insensitivity. I mean, look at this s***

HOW DOES THIS EVEN GET APPROVED???????????????

White cleopatra
In

Pitt and Jolie doing this in the late ‘00s would’ve been bonkers

I would've let this one slide

Cleopatra was not Egyptian (not that casting an Egyptian actress would bother me). It's contentious in regards to what she actually looked like, but her heritage was Greek.

I remember watching the trailer for that Gods of Egypt trash though like wtf is this s***

interesting. Thanks for the correction

Sounds horrible

Nice c***whitewashing lesson you must be a Eu

what lol. I never said she wasn't dark skinned, I just said she wasn't Egyptian, I even said casting her as Egyptian wouldn't bother me

Director: Noah Baumbach

Soundtrack: Kanye West and The Weeknd

Mark Antony

Julius Caesar

Brutus

Rufio

In for Denis every movie i've seen by him is amazing

Need Dune first tho! That s*** gonna be hard
