Skal Paul Greengrass instruere "Cleopatra" i 3D?

James Cameron fokuserer på "Avatar 2+3".

James Cameron har tidligere udtalt, at han enten ville starte arbejdet på en 3D-version af "Cleopatra" eller i stedet fokusere på sine kommende to "Avatar"-film.

Nu forlyder det, at Cameron har valgt "Avatar", da producer Scott Rudin kan fortælle, at en instruktør snart annonceres til "Cleopatra". Der er dog slet ingen forlydender om Cameron, hvorimod Paul Greengrass rygtes til at skulle styre projektet.

"It is a completely revisionist Cleopatra, a much more grown-up sophisticated version," siger Rudin. "She's not a sex kitten, she's a politician, strategist, warrior. In the Joseph Mankiewicz movie, Elizabeth Taylor is a seductress, but the histories of Cleopatra have been written by men. This is the first to be written by a woman. We’re pretty close. A lot of directors want to do it, but there is only a handful we'll make it with."
