So like is this guy just gonna be hired for big budget remakes and sequels from here on out
Not that I'm complaining for Dune's sake but man what a waste of his time making Cleopatra as well

Alright holy shit
This guy is going for the big shot now. Trying to go for that insane classic Hollywood madness.
I know he's doing well for himself but Denis, pace yourself man.
Assuming this has to do with this right here, the original Most Expensive Movie Ever Made:
This could be far more exciting to me than him doing Bond.

Sony still grasping at straws I see.

Casting minefield. Good luck.

Isn't he reportedly a huge Dune fanboy? I doubt he'd push that off unless he really wanted to do something else first.

But seriously, should an Arab or a Greek play her?

Are you considering Cleopatra a big budget remake but not Dune?
THANK YOU. Fuck everything that isn't Dune. Fuck Bond. Fuck Cleopatra. Fuck the king. Make Dune.

All I can say is that I hope that this doesn't intervene with Dune being made.

Someone Greek or Mediterranean looking like Gal Gadot.
Greek because she was Greek. But really, if they go with someone Southern European looking it will be fine.

Hopefully they cast Marc Anthony as Mark Antony

Is Jackson's Hobbit trilogy a big budget remake of Rankin's The Hobbit?

so Jennifer Aniston?
Right, you'd think he'd wanna take a break or make something at a smaller scale but I assume he wouldn't helm these films if he wasn't interested in them himself.
Greek
I've never understood the backlash against someone light skinned playing her. She is literally the epitome of white imperialism, complete with incestual breeding to attempt and preserve the Greek blood and not mix with the local "savages". This weird historical rewrite as her being some local african hero has always been really anachronistic and misguided.
His older films are absolutely fantastic. All available on bluray too.

Oh okay just making sure. I don't think that's much of a fair judgment to make yet. I mean we did get 4 or 5 original movies from him. It balances out
Why are you asking me?
Eh. He would make me interested, but otherwise I'd rather him get behind something more original.
Both Deadline and Variety say the idea is he would work on redeveloping Cleopatra while Dune goes into production.

Plot twist: It is a film about the 1963 film. The making of the gargantuan production that almost bankrupted 20th Century Fox.

Introducing Black Cleopatra, the sassiest queen to ever exist.
Teacher: You have a beautiful name, Cleopatra. Tell me how you got it?
Cleopatra: Mama always tell me I was a queen.
Teacher: Queen of what?
Cleopatra: Queen of kicking your ass for asking stupid questions, bitch.
Announcer: She's so sassy, you could cut the sass with a knife.
I want a Black Cleopatra movie now.

Denis has earned the benefit of the doubt, what what you want and I'll be there day one.
I'm glad that he didn't listen to the "leave it alone" Bladerunner fans....

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
That or Maleficient could be a good "comeback" role for Angie
