[hausofdave]

Quote

Villeneuve‘a next film will be “Cleopatra” for Sony Pictures. The screenplay is said to be written by David Scarpa (“Napoleon”) and based on the best-selling book by Stacey Schiff. Production is supposed to begin sometime in 2024.

Quote

Zendaya has already accepted the offer to take on the role of the young queen of Egypt. Timothée Chalamet has been offered the role of Octavius and Daniel Craig is being sought for Caesar.

I know it’s Ruimy, but Villeneuve has spoken before about making a Cleopatra film, thoughts?

I can see him doing Cleopatra but I doubt it will be Zendaya. Besides isn't he supposed to be doing Rendezvous with Rama first?

Not Chalamet for Octavius 

 

Smart move from Zendaya if true. Sticking with Villeneuve makes sense and it feels like a project that could make her a true leading lady movie star.

Ew

[CaptainMusic]

Cleopatra was a white Greek woman  

[X~MoviePoP]

Cleopatras ethnicity and history is still being argued about to this day 

[Raptus]

Cleopatra was charismatic so good luck with that

 

 

 

[Pendulum]

Not another online discourse about Cleopatra's origin  

 

The absolute gag that she was inbred to the core and therefore probably facially disfigured. Her maternal grand-grandparents were literally siblings + she married both of her brothers.  Where's the ugly inbred people's representation in media? 

[Patient Zero]

This is getting tired. What's next? Joaquin Phoenix playing Martin Luther King?

 

Changing races of fictional character shouldn't be an issue. But changing the race of a historical figure should be a no go.

[Raptus]

Ready for incoming "Zendaya to be killed in Egypt" threads

This is gonna ruin her momentum as a box office draw because this role screams backlash

[X~MoviePoP]

Zendaya should focus on that "white lie" movie her and reese witherspoon where gonna do. Or the ronnie spector biopic

[Shimenawa]

Would have been eyeconic with Angie

[The Witch]

We're ready to BOYCOTT

Where the chubby sassy gays representation on ATRL when most of you are that?

[panochita]

It should be Gaga and we all know it, people have seen that huge nose Cleopatra had, idk why Hollywood is trying so hard to avoid that

This reads like something from The Onion. You could create a more ridiculous cast and Timothee’s career is on his last leg in Hollywood. Flops left and right.
