June 14, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Angelina Jolie, the leading lady of Hollywood, is going to revive the Egyptian queen Cleopatra in her next venture. She is following the British actress Elizabeth Taylor, who has acted in another film on the queen in 1963. Taylor’s real life muse Richard Burton played the role of Mark Antony in that film.

Hollywood producer Scott Rudin had purchased the rights of the film from a new biography about Cleopatra, which is written by the Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff. He had Jolie in his mind to play the iconic role.

While the producers have not yet finalized on the role of Antony, they are considering the name of Jolie’s real life partner Brad Pitt to fill in for the spot.

Schiff said, “Jolly looks perfect for the role physically. An Oscar is quite possible for it.”
