Take this as RUMINT for the present moment but it's looking possible that acclaimed filmmaker Denis Villeneuve's next project will be a biopic on the last queen of Egypt: Cleopatra. Taking a leaf out of Netflix's critically-acclaimed (lol) documentary series, it's looking like Zendaya is set to star as the Macedonian Greek ruler of first century B.C. Egypt.

Timothée Chalamet is rumored to be circling the role of Gaius Octavius Caesar with Daniel Craig set to star as his uncle, Julius Caesar.

Hopefully dune part 2 does well enough for him to make dune messiah after this, even though everybody will hate it.

They'll butcher it because the woke activists demand it.

Ah this story again, apparently Villeneuve's representatives have completely denied this and it seems to be coming from one blog post about a rumored production sheet. Probably just Newsweek generating rage clicks but I guess time will tell

I've always thought Hannah Simone should be Cleopatra. At least she's good looking.

What happened to the other Cleopatra film with Gal Gadot? Dozens of people on twitter were bitching about that, too.

They recast with Mia Khalifa, pushed the NC17 too far, it's now a fifteen minute movie on multiple adult sites.

Timothée should look lovely with kohl around his eyes and an asp at his breast.

That's exactly what it is. The Netflix black Cleopatra film bombed and was met with harsh criticism by Egypt, so let's make another one. Cleopatra's ancestry was Greek, but they can't find a capable Greek actress to play her?

I really like Zendaya. She's a good actress and just built different physically than your typical Hollywood chick. A beautiful and talented woman.

Yeah, it seems like some people are reacting to this as if Villanueve wants to cast Lupita Nyongo’o or Issa Rae
