joblo.com/movie-news/blade-runner-2049-s-denis-villenueve-in-talks-to-direct-sony-s-cleopatra-274

the Sony email leaks really painted the Cleopatra development as a mess. Maybe Denis can salvage it.

He better not pick Angelina Jolie and Amy Pascal better be not involved

>development as a mess
is that the new meme? every movie is a mess in production. create false gossip.

>and Angelina Jolie has long been eyed to play the title role
So this would be about her life in the sarcophagus?

Guaranteed to be a black woman despite Cleopatra being Greek

>Hollywood still falling for le Villeneuve is good meme

>Cleopatra cinematic universe
Wonder if they'll skip the parts where she gets ahead by sleeping with an influential man

Denis needs to make a Napoleon film first. Fuck Cleopatra. Just a useless roastie that fucked Ceasar.

They'll keep Cleo Greek. Make both Marc Antony and Julius Caesar black. Octavian will be white since he'll be seen as the villain of it all.

>my man vaudevillian

IM FUCKING HY-

>sony

Nevermind then.

>Denis Villeneuve's In Talks To Direct Sony's 'Cleopatra'

heh, not after BR'49 fails to make back half its budget

>Denis needs to make a Napoleon film

hopefully Kubrick's widow saved that filing cabinet

>the Sony email leaks really painted the Cleopatra development as a mess

Isn't everything Sony related a mess? How is it that this trainwreck of a Studio is even still floating?

this lel

the chick from the mummy reboot would be a good choice.

>Sony
No thanks

> Angelina Jolie
She already played a Greek Queen in Alexander and she managed to be the worst part of the movie.

She wasn't that bad. Rosario Dawson on the other hand was horrid even with the nude scene.

Villeneuve made basically (atleast) one film per year since 2009 and every single one of them was a critical and financial success.
How the fuck does he do it? How doesn't he burn out? How?

Sup Forums is too busy masturbating over the old guard that they don't want to see a fairly new guy start taking the steps to legend status

>Please Denis, don't fail us like Nolan did, he was supposed to be the chosen one. The one who would bring balance between kino and Hollywood blockbusters

She sounded like she was playing a Vampire through the entire thing mate.
>I AM OV AKILLEES ROYAL BLUD!

>who should play Cleopatra Sup Forums?
Idris Elba

>balance between kino and Hollywood blockbusters
But Dunkirk is exactly that?

Nolan didn't fail us. He's busy saving film. TDKR was his only real big misstep.

i still would

>The one who would bring balance between kino and Hollywood blockbusters

Dunkirk user. Good job being a contrarian pleb and missing out on seeing it in imax hahaha

>Guaranteed to be a black woman despite Cleopatra being Greek
well, its not like there are many Turkish actresses in hollywood...

>Denis needs to make a Napoleon
wasnt Fukushima trying to make Kubrick's Napoleon ?

My thoughts exactly.

if she isn't as dark as chocolate there will be protest

>working with Sony
>TWICE
the madman

Sony leaks were hilarious, especially the Cleopatra and Steve Jobs stuff

That chick from Mummy - Sofia whatever. wud fug.

unironically the only actress gorgeous and charming enough to be a Cleo. If she adds on a few pounds she would also fit the beauty standards of that time. Based Emilia

OH GEE I WONDER HOW SONY FUCKS UP THIS ONE!

You know this is inevitable Sup Forums, say hello to your new Cleopatra

Say hello to a box office bomb.

Just like BvS, Wonder woman and Fast Five eh?

just for your info. cleo wasn't really that atactive... she was actually rather average. figures and coins are very similar actually, so few sources confirming she could look like this

>cleo wasn't really that atactive
Yea no shit she's from a family in the run for the most inbred in human history.

>still trying this hard

her acting is the worst i've ever seen.

Complains about niggerification.
Meanwhile
>WE WUZ GREEKZ N SHIEET

I would be 100% ok with this.

Better than Jolie.

It doesn't matter with that charisma

not saying much

There is no actress who can play Cleopatra and not make it a flop.

Nefertiti > Cleopatra anyways

nein

Will it be Villeneuvian?

Read a book, moron

Wouldn't Hatshepsut be the woke Egyptian queen America needs right now?

What are you saying? That Greeks are black?

>tfw high budget adaptation of battle of austerlitz or borodino

Jordana Brewster

just don't post any recent pictures

I'm ok with this.

>WE WUZ ROMANZ N GREEKZ N SHIEET

I dunno, she still looks damn fine to me

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_dynasty

*blocks your path*

Obvious, no?

>Wikipedia

way too arabi-african, she was fine in mummy, but wouldnt make proper cleopatra

...

THIS. Shes the only one who loks like Prime Elizabeth Taylor

>Shes the only one who looks like Prime Elizabeth Taylor

No, just no.

Noboday asked for this. There are a million other projects he could be doing besides this.

They were though.

>implying Eluzabeth Taylor wasnt the original "anglo brunette fatty who happens to have blue eyes" jammed down everyone's throat as a "sex symbol" and "beautiful icon"

Greeks were indo-european, and they had colonies all over Southern Europe. Pretty much any European is far more related to Greeks, than any East African is to any North African (Caucasian).

i'd fuck her desu

Isn't it time for a nonbinary gender Caesar and cleopatra?

>based Octavian
>villain
For what purpose?

Should have a movie about the hipster Cladius dressing in drag to sneak into a woman's sanctuary to fuck Caesars wife while he was on campaign

those are roman coins so its obvious she would look like shit on them

Especially since African tribes have been incredibly isolated from each other for a very long time compared to the general communicable trade and movement of European and Asian peoples.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

>Cleopatra doing roundhouse leg sweeps

Would watch.

Nice bait.

YASS QUEEN

BRAAAPP

>average

She looked like an ugly witch. The average peasant probably looked better than she did.

>yfw cleopatra was jewish
>jews werent the slaves but the masters
>blacks build egypt as slaves
>blacks kick out jews
>jews cry holo9caust

Well, we're not white either.
We're better than white.
We're Greek.

>well, its not like there are many Turkish actresses in hollywood...

He should do Bond 25 instead.

so if I'm reading this right
Cleopatra II had sex with her bothers, and both their respective offspring (Cleo III and Ptolemy VIII) only to have them have four fucking kids who all get jiggy with each other too?

Jesus that chart makes my brain hurt this early in the morning

Here we know for sure tho because of the Sony hacks that leaked a ton of private exchanges between execs and producers

I really do not see demographics for such film. Why bother? I'd rather see him do next Transformers movie than cleopatra epic.

Villeneuve needs to collab with him

The Ptolemies spent 270 years fucking and killing their siblings, only the first 3 and Cleopatra herself were really any good at anything.

Dune got canned?

Good riddance.

He already did

this. but unironically

Need help, user. How do you power rank

>Ptolemy VIII for getting in on that Mother/Daughter action with points for wincest

>Ptolemy X for getting the mother daughter action, with points for either cucking his own son, or confirming XI's beta status because of his having gone after his old man's used goods

but what about his Dune adaption?

Can't wait.
I love Villeneuve.

>Greek
*Albanian (pannonian)

>Olympias was the daughter of Neoptolemus I, king of the Molossians, an ancient Greek tribe in Epirus

SHAME on the house of Ptolemy, shame.
