Angelina Jolie Involved in “Cleopatra” Movie

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

Angelina Jolie is involved in the development of a new film about the life of Cleopatra.

Film producer Scott Rudin bought the rights to Stacy Schiff‘s new book Cleopatra: A Life. The resulting movie project “is being developed for and with Jolie.”

A rep for Rudin confirms to Gossip Cop that Jolie is involved in the film’s development.

Schiff herself endorses Jolie in a potential role as the Egyptian queen. “Physically, she’s the perfect look,” says the author.

A famed 1963 version of Cleopatra’s life starred Elizabeth Taylor.

    Actually Juan Cleopatra was half Egyptian and half Greek and she looked more Greek than anything.

    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!

    ckjohnson09: Now the Pharoah’s were mixed? so all of the worshiping them because they were considered Gods due to their blood line is a lie? All of the inceast where sibblings were marring sibblings such as Cleopatra who married her own little Brother and had him murdered and possibly along with her younger sister to capture full control of the throne was a LIE? Wow. Interesting. Cleopatra was the down turn of the Egyptian Empire and the historical books of what happened to her Son that she had by Caesar is still a big question… he was the only one to my knowledge that was mixed. The Original Eygyptians were decendants of Ehthopia according to ancent Ethopian and Egyptican Historical Data… prior to Egypt becoming it’s own country– Thousands of years earlier. The Greek Migration started after the Egyptican Hirarcy… so this means the Royal Families regardless of tradition just started intermingling and having sex with Greek Immigrants? Just brining them into their Royal God traditional family infrastructor. Wow! Greeks to my small feablie minded base of knowledge did infact start migrating into various countries in the CONTINENT Of AFRICA such as Morocco, and Egypt just to name a few and some had key positions but none to my knowledge came close to the thrown such as Ceasar or Mark Anthony and that was ONLY because Cleopatra who had killed most of her own sibblings to protect her thrown did what was necessary to TRY to keep control of her Egyptian Country. Having a son by Caesar if she had any daughters the records would automatically omit their existance. Wow and she was not Black or Brown, Darker skin either… well the history books lead us to believe that they wore wigs… when there are existing Mummies who still have their curly dread lock style of hair still in tact. So this means that Africans who resided in the northern contintent of Africa the TRUE Egyptians, Ehthopean Decendants– were white with straight hair and king like facial features. Even the statues that exist today that specifically depict Broad Noses, Thick Lips, Kinky– locked like hair is a LIE too? Wowwwwww! When Napoleon Bonaparte went to Egyptian he specifically destroyed the nose/lip areas of many statues that clearly resemble even today’s Black Africans and Black African Decendant facial features Big Noses, Thick Lips and Tightly Curled hair? Wow so Cleopatra was white right? Your so intelligent thank you for that information… ya learn something new every day… and this clearly demonstrates why majority of The Continent of Africa and all of the countries that exist their historical data is omitted, and falsification of information. The ONLY individuals on this planet who have left any historical legacy were either White or Extremely Light Skin, King European Facial Features, Straight Hair, and of course the MOST intelligent civilization on this planet EVER in the History of Man! Jesus was white too…Straight blonde hair, blue eyes, The bible is a lie when it states Jesus as he is known today had hair like the wool of a lamb and feet were bronze and he took refuge in Egypt… which means he didnt blend in because the true Egyptians all of them were White or Light Skin, Wowwww! Thanks for the information!

    Some of the earlier Pharoahs of Egypt especially from upper (southern) Egypt were black. But, Alexander the Great (a Greek, actually Macedonian) conquered Egypt in 332 BC and displaced the Persian rulers (not African). When Alexander died, these Greeks (the Ptolemies) were given rule. They inter-married with each other until Cleopatra was born (69 BC). She was the first Ptolemaic ruler to even learn the Egyptian language. Her skin would have been as dark as any Greek woman of her day.
