Although I like Angelina Jolie as an actor, I'm really sickened by this decision. Once again we have history repeating itself. The original role was stolen from Lena Horne and given to Elizabeth Taylor due to racism at the place in time. Even though Cleopatra was a woman of colour, they refused to see a light-skinned Black woman play her and replaced her with a white woman in dark makeup. Fast forward decades later and they're doing the same thing. This role should be offered to the actress such as Vanessa Williams, Halle Berry or Thandie Newton. Most ppl today, especially young ppl DO NOT know history. Stop rewriting history and tell it like it is or was!!

Playlist, would you say it's likely, between these and the competing 20,000 LEAGUES adaptations, that both Soderbergh and David Fincher will lose out on being able to film their versions?

I love Angelina, but damn, zzzzzz.

I think the second Elizabeth movie was the last time I'll ever pay to see powerful people with regal and emotionless faces wear Oscar-winning costumes and break some sort of royal customs that means nothing to us anymore.

Think of the "Team Caesar" and "Team Antony" T-shirt merchandising possibilities.
