'CLEOPATRA' TO GET
ADAPTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE
While he is preparing to premiere his Blade Runner 2049 in cinemas, Denis Villeneuve is Sony's new candidate for directing another big screen
adaptation CLEOPATRA based on Stacy Schiff's bestselling novel.
James Cameron was previous director attached to this high profile
project. Unlike some other more glamorous projects, this one will focus
on the truth about
Cleopatra as a leader and not just a sex symbol, since she was a mother,
leader and an intellectual who spoke five languages and whose
upbringing
also reflected her relationship with Rome. Earlier this year I also told you that Black Sails team is working on a Cleopatra series for Amazon but we haven't heard anything about it since.

It's about time that Cleopatra is portrayed as something other than a sex symbol.
ReplyDeleteif they do it at all :)
DeleteBut she really was a sex symbol. She did use her female charms and art of seduction million times more than politics or intellect, both on Caesar and Marc Anthony, but Egypt was that sort of flimsy country back in those days, so I'm guessing they've used all weapons possible to succeed
I am interested to see how Cleopatra plays out. Yes, she was a sex symbol, but like Marilyn Monroe, I am sure there were a lot of brains hidden under all that beauty.
ReplyDeletesome at least for sure :)
DeleteCleopatra? Wow, so many interesting things to see...Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeletethere were so many projects on her announced in last ten years that I'm not sure if we should even raise our hopes up
DeleteWait... the truth about Cleopatra as a leader and not just a sex symbol? She was a sex symbol?
ReplyDeleteRomans say so
DeleteHow did she become a sex symbol, I wonder.
Deleteby sexing up with too many Caesars... slut... not that we don't envy her....
