'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.
