Angelina Jolie is locked into playing Cleopatra.
It’s official: Angelina Jolie has signed to star as Egypt’s beloved Queen Cleopatra. So, the question is: Who will be her Marc Antony?
Keep in mind that unlike the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor version, the forthcoming Scott Rudin production will focus less on Cleopatra’s seductive powers in the bedroom and more on her shrewd appetite for business and politics.
So who should fill Marc Antony’s gladiator sandals? Here are some of the big names being looked at to star alongside Angelina.
BRAD PITT- No shock here. The actor and Jolie’s real-life love is no stranger to period pieces (Troy) or Cleopatra’s director David Fincher who has directed him three times before. Fincher will never have to worry about a lack of chemistry on set, but the whole Taylor-Richard Burton love vibe almost ruined the 1963 version.
GEORGE CLOONEY- Jolie/Pitt off-screen friend and fellow humanitarian, who fits this role very well. Audiences would flock to see a Jolie-Clooney love story.
DANIEL CRAIG- This actor has out-pummeled and outfoxed the enemy in a number of action films, including Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace and the forthcoming Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. He has worked with Jolie before in Tomb Raider.
COLIN FIRTH- He just won the Oscar for his role as a triumphant war-time King George VI in The King’s Speech. If it were ever the English actor’s time to play a fearless leader in love, the time is now. Although he could be an even better Julius Caesar.
Don’t count out HUGH JACKMAN, COLIN FARRELL, CLIVE OWEN and RUSSELL CROWE.
