No Truth to Claims Brad Pitt Has a Cleo-Part-ra in Jolie Pic

Truth rating: 0

Not long after Gossip Cop confirmed that movie producer Scott Rudin purchased the rights to Stacy Schiff‘s new book Cleopatra: A Life, and that a filmed adaptation is in development with Angelina Jolie, rumors began to abound that Brad Pitt would star opposite his real-life love as the Queen of Egypt’s lover Marc Antony.

The Daily Mail, for instance, ran a piece titled, “Angelina Jolie signs up to play Cleopatra in new film (while Brad Pitt is lined up for role of Marc Antony).”

The tab’s story drew comparisons to the production of Elizabeth Taylor’s 1963 film, Cleopatra, when she and co-star Richard Burton, both married, fell in love, much as Jolie and the married Pitt were smitten on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

But a rep for Rudin tells Gossip Cop that Pitt has not been “lined up,” as reported by the Mail. In fact, there have been no conversations to date about Pitt taking the Marc Antony role.

    Why remake Cleopatra anyway? Liz Taylor rules

    I agree. And if they are going to make another Cleopatra, they should make her a woman of color. Since she was.

    She was in Greek…check your facts on Cleopatra.The Greeks overtook Eygpt and the throne was given to Cleopatra by her Greek ancestry. So yes she was bronze but African. I felt the same way you did ..till I did my homework…I know was a surprise to me as well. Jolie will be perfrct for the movie.
