Rudin explains that this film will be completely different than the 1963 Cleopatra
starring Elizabeth Taylor, "It is a completely revisionist Cleopatra, a much more grown-up sophisticated version...She's not a sex kitten, she's a politician, strategist, warrior..." One of the reasons he says this film will be different is because "...the histories of Cleopatra have been written by men. This is the first to by written by a woman." While yes, the female author Stacy Schiff wrote the biography the film will be based on, but all the other developers of the film are men. Brian Helgeland is developing the script, Scott Rudin is producing, and Paul Greengrass is (supposedly) directing. In addition, with Angelina Jolie as Cleopatra, something tells me this film film will still be very sex driven.
