robboadam 2,181 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/753226/Lady-Gaga-and-Angelina-Jolie-war-cleopatra-movie-hollywood-role The stars are in a battle to land one of the biggest title roles of all time in the mega-budget film reboot. Oscar-winning Angelina, 43, has been in on-off talks for months with studio bosses at Sony over playing the Elizabeth Taylor part. But fast-rising actress Lady Gaga, 32, is now also in the running following the massive box office success of A Star Is Born, her big screen debut as a leading lady. She's also being tipped as an Oscar contender next month. A senior production source at Sony confirmed: "Cleopatra was known as the Queen of the Nile, and Elizabeth Taylor firmly established herself as Hollywood's queen in the 1963 film version. "There's every reason to think that whoever gets to play her this time round is going to enjoy an equally lofty perch in the motion picture industry." The movie won four Academy Awards and sparked controversy over Taylor's on-set affair with co-star Richard Burton. They later wed and divorced twice. It was billed at the time as an "epic historical drama" but Sony's new Cleopatra is being touted by producers as a "dirty, bloody political thriller told from a feminist perspective". The source said it could be so close between Angelina, left, and Gaga that "both of them will have to audition - a pretty rare ask of an A-list star".

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Neither. Gaga need to turn this down so does Angelina. What's the point of the back lash for this role?

blackstar 11,505 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I would live for that role, but then again everybody are going to argue over Cleopatra's race even tho she's Greek/Macedonian but people just don't care to check the facts before saying anything. Just like they thought Ursula should be played by black woman Dilated, falling free in a modern ecstasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shav33l 1,241 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Omg!! Didn't that psychic predict that Gaga will play a queen or something? Hope it's true! Red wine, cheap perfume and a filthy pout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taide 5,789 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don't think anyone with brains thinks Egyptians are black. They lean more towards the Arabs aka Caucasians. OT: I hope she gets the role but Jolie is also amazing and talented actress. Perched for both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
