There were rumours of a Sci Fi Political Thriller directed by the amazing Denis Villeneuve (2049, The Arrival) and i am so hyped, i think she would be perfect for it. What happened to that?

 

This is how i imagine her all powerfull and enigmatic

And since Gaga is italian it would be a perfect match, plus the obvious physical similarities

I have no idea. I just remember there being many conversations about having the right ethnicity play her, hell if I know.

yes, which is why a greek actress might be more deserving of the role, over an Italian actress.

I'd love to see Gaga in an epic/heroic kind of role though!

Gaga would be great but I think lots of people are tired of hearing the Cleopatra story, especially when there are so many other Egyptian queens deserving of movies. If they do go on with Cleopatra though I think Gaga would fit. I mean who better to play a Roman Empire figure than an Italian (American) woman anyway :poot:

Are modern Greeks even descendants of ancient Greeks?

Like european people groups switched places like crazy over the centuries.

Yeah but this is with a twist. Have you seen the movies of the director, they are super visual and majestic... Plus probably the story will be a totally different one, thats why its a science fiction political thriller...

Ancient civilisation ≠ modern population of a country

Nobody own the right to portrait Cleopatra. The country and the culture she's from haven't existed in 2000 years:saladga:

Also Italy is right next to Greece. Literally the same people lived in both countries. At that time Greece and Egypt were both part of the Roman Empire which obviously had it's center in Italy.

 

This is not an issue like white people portraying other races. There is no discrimination against Greek actresses so there is no need to demand film makers to cast a Greek actress for a role like Cleopatra.
