Jan 31Some news
But right now, there are other types of movies Villeneuve wants to make, including an adaptation of Stacy Schiff’s Cleopatra, currently being written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917)
David Scarpa (“Napoleon”) had written the original draft, but it looks as though Wilson-Cairns is now taking a crack at it.

Jan 31i love my boy denis but that cast is not looking good

Probably before this since this still being written

Zendaya should not have agreed to this role.
How come
- Jan 31·3 repliesBlueDream
How come
Idk if she has the acting chops for this most importantly.
Secondly social media gonna rip her apart when that first set photo hits the internet with her in costume. It’s gonna be think pieces about Cleopatra being black, Zendaya taking black women roles, Zendaya being the “acceptable” level black woman for Hollywood. She meets the quota of hiring a “black” woman, etc.If she gives a damn near flawless performance which with Denis directing I think it’s certainly plausible, then she’ll silence them. But i do think they’re better choices to pick from.

Would’ve went with Maggie Gyllenhall
Jan 31·1 replyAren't Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot doing this as well? They've been talking about a Cleopatra film with Gal for years but maybe it'll fall through at some point
Feel like this story is kinda ran to the ground especially amongst all that can be explored with Rome but hoping there's a solid angle. Cast looks like he's just falling back on people he knows tho

Netflix doc kinda gutted the "was Cleopatra Black?" discourse
FREE 💜Jan 31CodyAre you saying zendaya isn’t black?
What's crazy is Cleopatra wasn't even black so like if Zendaya doesn't count then that should be an assist
Jan 31I want to see a Dicaprio x Denis film

Are you saying zendaya isn’t black?
That’s a different conversation, but if you asking just that, then no I don’t consider Zendaya a black woman.

Cleopatra was not black
I didn’t say she was or wasn’t. I’m just talking about the potential discourse that will unfold
Jan 31It's gon be real dust in the 4DX showing of this movie

Cleopatra is one of those cursed roles that never actually happens.

Depending on the tone n plot of the film, long as Denis don’t do no goofy s*** like this
Don’t really matter

F*** biopics. Boring Oscar bait genre. At least Napoleon just made fun of Napoleon and the whole idea of hagiography
Jan 31I'll never get the zendaya appeal. same with Timmy as a lead. They both look like kids playing grown up
