Angelina Jolie To Possibly Play Cleopatra In New Movie
June 11, 2010
Angelina Jolie is reportedly in the works to portray legendary Egyptian ruler, Cleopatra, in a future film. Elizabeth Taylor played the role in 1963.
According to USA Today, Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin has purchased the film rights to upcoming biography Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra: A Life, and they have confirmed that the film “is being developed for and with Jolie.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff wrote the new biography, which will be out this November and says Angelina would be perfect for the role saying: “Physically, she’s the perfect look.”
Schiff is also throwing it out there saying that Brad Pitt would make the perfect Marc Antony….

Angelina is too OLD and WHITE to protray Cleopatra. Here is my cast selection: Robert Denario as Caesar . Exceptional Italian American Actor, Age Appropriate, and protray an exceptional Roman World Leader. Antonio Banderas as Mark Anthony Hisipanic bronze skin would light up the romantic sceens in this movie, Buff, and Tough Roman Soldier Uniform would look Delicous on him. Exceptional Actor and Age Appropriate. Last but not least; Zoe Saldana as Cleopatra Exceptional Actress, stared in Avatar, Star Trek, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Zoe is age appropriate-young, proper skin tone not too dark, not too light just the right color to protray a Northern African Black Queen. In addition according to historical records that describe Queen Cleopatra’s boy like body figure, petite when she was unrolled out of the carpet before Caesar. She has all of the phsyical attributes to protray a TRUE depiction of Cleopatra. Instead of complaining about the insane cast of this movie that will flop unless, those in power decide to hire the proper actors and actress to make the movie more Factual verses Fictional. This is my resolution to resolving this hillarious casting issue. Which will generate a broad audience spectrum from Black, Hispanic,Italian/white(s) to attend this movie. THE END!

Cleopatra VII (“the” Cleopatra) was the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty
to rule Egypt. She was descended from Ptolemy I, a Macedonian (Greek)
general under Alexander the Great- conqueror of Egypt, who declared
himself pharaoh of Egypt after Alexander died in 323BCE. The Ptolemy
family extensively interbreeded for generations leading up to Cleopatra’s
rule. It seems perfectly appropriate to me to have a white actress
play the descendant of a long line of Macedonians. And to suggest
otherwise seems more like a desire to promote a personal agenda rather
than a cry for historical accuracy in films.

Angelina is not old,for that role. What happen with you guys not all the roles is for 18 years actors. Why you hate her, there most impotatnat things to do; and if you have your actors for the Cleopatra movie, do your own movie and stop talking bad about Angelina
