Denis Villeneuve is currently in talks to “re-develop to direct” Cleopatra, which means we probably won’t see it for a while, but at least it means we’ll see it.
Sony’s long-in-development Cleopatra epic may have finally found a director who will stick with it.
Deadline reports that Villeneuve is in negotiations with the studio, which has been trying to make this project happen for years.
He was also in the running at one point for the new James Bond picture, but that’s not likely to pan out.
