Angelina Jolie to be “Cleopatra”

According to MSN, Angelina Jolie has been tapped to star as Cleopatra in the eponymous biopic.

Producer Scott Rudin has been developing the film since 2006 with Jolie in mind for the role. The movie will be based on biographer Stacy Schiff’s “Cleopatra: A Life.” There’s no word yet on who will play Jolie’s Marc Anthony.

While some tweeps are liking the idea of Jolie as the famous Egyptian queen, many others are wondering why Hollywood is again choosing a Caucasian actress to play an African monarch. (Elizabeth Taylor portrayed Cleopatra in the 1963 film.)

    jacqinmystyle @MikeMossFuture: So apparently Angelina Jolie will be playing Cleopatra. When white actresses portray African queens, the terrorists win.”
