Academy Award winning Scott Rudin and Columbia Pictures have cast one of the most talented and unquestionably beautiful actors in history to star in the upcoming feature film "Cleopatra". Angelina Jolie - who has already won an Oscar, 23 additional acting award wins, and 56 acting award nominations - will be starring as the young Queen and last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Auditions for the film's co-stars and supporting players will be an intensive undertaking.
Two time Academy Award nominee David Fincher will direct from a screenplay by Academy Award winning writer Brian Helgeland. The screenplay is adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff's "Cleopatra: A Life," which was published by Little Brown in November, 2010 and reached the New York Times Bestseller List among numerous other prestigious "best-of" lists.
This version of "Cleopatra" is said to be solid, and unlike the infamous 1963 film starring Elizabeth Taylor, this picture will be from an unmistakably female frame of reference, troweling into the many aspects of the historical figure as warrior, tactician, politician and yes, enchanting temptress.
