Gee whiz, (((who))) could be trying to hire (((specific))) actors.

WHy the fuck does that thing turn me on?

Because you're imagining it entering your butthole.

Good question.
Cleo was Greek, and according to remaining images, coins, figures.. She wouldn't be considered pretty by today's common standards.
However she taken Egyptian beauty canons.
Hard to say who to cast. Would have to see with Egyptian makeup and clothing.

They're really doing a disservice to Cleopatra and women everywhere by focusing on her beauty when it's very possible that she was just average looking. The accounts of her beauty came centuries after her death.

And the more masculine nose seen on coins may very well been part of propaganda to make her seem as more legitimate.

>big beautiful nose
>looks like a witch

its common knowledge about her nose

like this

Taylor Swift just for the butthurt

The real question should be whether you still cast Cleo as an attractive actress or not - if the desired effect is for her to have the same impact in the film as she allegedly had in history then translating that into a modern day beauty is arguably justifiable unless you're just hellbent on making her unattractive to make some modern day message instead of a visually understandable narrative.

With Egyptian makeup, even average becomes beauty. Latest example. Take a look at Sofia Boutella. As princess Ahmanet, with wig, and makeup she looks 3time more attractive.

You can tell when they're trying to push something that's conventionally ugly. "Big beautiful nose", just say what it is. A big honking schnoz. An anteater snout. She had a clownish, gigantic nose!

cleopatra has to be hot, not a gigantic nose jew aberration

She looks like fucking Julius Caesar with long hair. My fucking god, no wonder he fucked her.

It wasn't that gigantic. But by todays standards she would be 7/10 top.
As stated above, Egyptian makeup can do wonders. They knew how to make women look pretty. Many Egyptian women were bald, to prevent lice. They wore wings and makeup.

I wouldn't cast an actress, necessarily

>not an actress butt still

>Dogmatix
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

not used to anglo asterix names?

>can carry a film
>talented actress
>sexy
>cuts an imposing figure
>huge nose
Lake bell as Cleo when?

How can one get a big jew nose gf?

based

My choice for Cleopatra

I know, it's so pointy and magnificent. It makes me think of a kingfisher.

What's wrong with Idefix? Are anglos too retarded to get it?

>most well known Egyptian princess played by a jew
>it took jews 2000+ years to get the ultimate revenge.

Let my people go indeed....

is she real?

...

...

She would be a good fit. Looks like a greek with some arab blood in it (yeah yeah, i know there were no arabs during that time, but they looked similar enough)

OHUAHUAHAHAHOOOO


OOOOH NOOOOOO!

Debra Messing

Cleopatra was Green by extraction, so wouldn't look 'middle eastern'.

*Greek

LOOK AT THIS DUDE

>Cleopatra was Green

>You mean Cleopatra didn't go to war with the Romans because Augustus was manspreading on a shared chariot?
I love the comments in the Guardian sometimes.

>not translating the names in a comic for kids
I mean come on

Always thought this chick did a phenomenal job, and damn was she super fine. She does mostly stage work though, maybe why she was so damn good.

But it isn't translated.

>Egyptian makeup can do wonders.
sure it does. lol

Lupita N'Yongo

looks more like Nefertiti
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti#/media/File:Nofretete_Neues_Museum.jpg

Cleo’s ethnicity was Greek. They should casta Greek or south European actress

I guess I'd cast Jameela Jamil, and if needed you can make her an artificial nose.
Although some people are saying that she was short and fat, so dunno.

Cleopatra was no nigger

>>Which current actress would you cast as Cleopatra?

Easy

make up to the noose

>A new workd mutt portraying a greek

very good choice, atractive but rather average
could go even without nose changes, just add some egyptian makeup and wig

Long noses on pretty women is hot.

What is the origin of the name Cleopatra and Ptolemy?

Ancient Greek names. Ptolemy was one of Alexander's generals.

>yfw you are uneducated shitbag and Sup Forums/tv/ made you realise Cleo lived closer to the landing on the moon than building the pyramids timeline

>twitter account is literally (((simon jester)))
come one now, you can't be this stupid

This guy gets it.

>Although some people are saying that she was short and fat, so dunno.

Short yeah, I doubt fat though.

Evil Greek would be a perfect Cleo

*blocks your poots*

I want to eat Nutella off the Boutella!

that nose and mole combo is revolting

Unironically Natalie Hershlag

while she was stunning as princess Ahmanet, got too exotic looks for proper greek Cleo.
clearly some arabic-like
should play Jasmine in Aladdin live-action remake

oprah of course

Naomi Scott is way qter

classic greeks weren't blonds with blue eyes

Hmmm

some were, but probably pretty rare

Plutarch describes a few Greeks as having fair skin and green, blue, and grey eyes

they sure as fuck weren't mestizo mongrels either

...

Sofia got better eyes, they are hmm don't know how to call it. more 'angled' or so?

You wish they were mestizo you fucking cave dweller cunt

I'd say Lucy Lawless, but she's getting a bit on the nose in her later years.

The color of Naomis fit better I think.

what

Reminder that Cleopatra was black. Stop being racist.

color is not problem, they can be changed with lenses (seen sofia eyes in star trek? - pic-related), the shape, Naomi's eyes are too horizontal.

My dick's choice awards 2016-17-18

In that case Rashida Jones

couldn't be black. she was from Ptolemaic dynasty.

Fair point

racist

>for kids
COME ON

Speaking of that Sofia Buo-something, double eyes in mummy were lenses or CGI?
Of course moment when they change was CGI, but during other scenes? Why she had double eyes? They meant something or what?

>implying Greeks like Cleo don't have similar noses

looks like my Greek grandma

/thread

>90 posts in and no Angie
board is full of underage B8

How can people not find moral fault in this behaviour?

She played Olympias (an Epirote) as some sort of weird Transylvanian in Alexander, and was shit at it.

Cast Laputa Nignog or whatever her name is. Go full on WE WUZ.

she has no tits and is pretty old now

this, shes not an option
lol

...

nigger

>that barbarian scum
>cleopatra

wew I bet this jewess keeps her mirrors covered at home when she isn't putting on makeup. she's like an uglier toucan-beaked danny devito without the charm and talent.
