Director David Fincher in talk on his next project with Angelina Jolie ‘Cleopatra’
“That’s something I would love to do with Angie,” Fincher said.
“It’s something that was brought to me that you have to take seriously. Scott has this wonderful book [by Stacy Schiff] and hopefully Eric can find a way in. I’m not interested in a giant sword and sandal epic”
“We’ve seen scope, everyone knows we can fake that. That stuff doesn’t impress in the way that it did even 10 years ago. We expect that from cable. So that’s not the reason to do that. What is it about this character that has purchased this place in our history and imagination that is relatable today?”
