Angelina Jolie became the embodiment of Cleopatra in the film “presque fait”, which will never be released again. 20 years later, a new version of Denis Villeneuve comes to the screen. And rumors talk about Zendaya for the role of so many convoys…
At the age of 20, the film “Cleopatra Abandoned” with Angelina Jolie became a romantic epic for me, etc.political thriller with murder and sex“According to the film’s original screenwriter Brian Helgeland (via Variety). The Oscar-winning actress portrayed the Egyptian queen in the Sony film, which courted realist David Fincher for the mise-en-scène. Et puis, plus rien.
“I was the first screenwriter for Cleopatra Lorskil, which was in development for Angelina Jolie and her wife, and it has already happened.“, I stated Brian Helgeland in an interview with Inverse. “Expecting elements of a political thriller with murder and sex, this is more of an epic sharing love with Cesar and Marc Antoine. Many events surprise me when I read books.»
“For example, the day of Caesar is a murder – the Ides of Mars and that’s it – the death of Rome.“, at-il poursuivi. “Ils partaient pour l’Egypte, et la raison pour laquelle ils ont dû le tuer à ce moment -là était parce qu’il quittait la ville avec elle. This is a historical picture and this figure is in the script. Elle écrit le discours de Marc Antoine – “Friends, Romains, compatriots” – parce qu’il ne sait pas quoi dire, mais elle lui dit quoi dire. C’est en quelque sorte sa façon de dire ‘Va te faire foutre’ à ces gars parce qu’elle est assez intelligence et lui ne l’est pas.»
Hollywood has been toiling away at the poor production of Cleopatra since Elizabeth Taylor’s infamous 1963 epic, which had a budget if it was huge, but failed at 20th Century Fox. Wonder Woman realist Patty Jenkins developed the new film Cleopatra for Gal Gadot a few years ago, as did Dune realist Denis Villeneuve, who lived for a long time before The Queen of Egypt.

In May 2011 Angelina Jolie In an interview with the Telegraph, I state that I hope the film Cleopatra will be a true representation of the historical icon.
“Elle a été très incomprise“, avait déclaré l’actrice à l’epoque. “I think it’s a matter of glamour, but most of all I get into a conversation with her and I see that she is very strong, she speaks in tongues and she is a leader.»
“My performance will never be more beautiful than Elizabeth’s cell.“, “avait-elle ajouté”. “Nous essayons de presenter and truth are different, just like the pharaoh in “History”, and it is not something that is a sex symbol, because it is not as if it were… Même cette idée qu’elle ait de nombreux amants – il était Perhaps qu’il n’y en ait que deux. It’s very interesting, but not more beautiful.»

“Avec Cléopâtre, on the site of the fair, the film as a fresh prestige – three hours, beautiful equipment, de gens avec des éventails and de accents in English and everything else – nous le Traitons vraiment as a political thriller. Sale, sanglant, plein de gens qui jurent, qui source l’amour et tout le reste. Plus, we are traitors, like a political thriller consisting of two hours, épuré, plein d’assassinats, etc. Nous prenons le contre-pied de l’idee que les gens pourraient se faire d’un tel movie“, and that’s exactly right.
