So supposedly Amanda Azim is in talks for Cleopatra? When will the media start reporting it. Thats far more interesting than Angelina taking the role. I agree with you ladies, Amanda Azim is the only one in Hollywood suited to play her.

Yes, Angelina would only be appropriate for Cleopatra had Amanda Azim not been in the picture. No one in Hollywood or anywhere else is more Cleopatra than her. One picture of hers says it all. Someone said the producers are in talks, with her we will see. Just because Angelina can handle a big budget doesnt mean people will want to see this film,

I think Scott Rudin and everyone will agree Amanda Azim is Cleopatra.

This could be a very cool and exciting project with Greengrass at the helm.

Why can\’t you guys just accept that Jolie had success with Salt? What other female led ACTION flick would have made that much money with another female star? It made money, it was successful for women, I\’m pretty I\’ve heard that there will be a sequel, move on and get over it.

I guess for Scott Rudin this has a lot of parallels with True Grit — met with the same initial skepticism about a story that\’s been done before. Greengrass will undoubtedly make the political drama very interesting and better than James Cameron could. But he also needs to surround it with grand spectacles which will be entirely new to him — though it would be new for almost anyone else outside of Ridley Scott and Peter Jackson. At worse, the talks could lead to Greengrass directing Salt 2 (just to irritate you guys).

Just based on State of Play I would consider David Yates.

I still think Jolie has a credibility problem. She seems so self-serious. People would be expecting her doing Cleopatra to be a seductress. People either want her to be a seductress or an action star. This project as an Angelina Jolie vehicle just seems wrong but I don\’t know which other female star can top-line an expensive film like this. Agora didn\’t make its budget back and that was a great film though a bit too cerebral at times.

She and Leo DiCaprio should try and get themselves into a Noah Baumbach film. Something like Greenberg or The Kids are All Right or Cyrus or Margot At the Wedding – these are films that aren\’t bloated, are well-written, have comedic and dramatic elements. This will hopefully prevent them from becoming parodies of themselves.
