All the Mark Antonies of the world unite, the woman with the luscious lips, Angelina Jolie is considering playing the role of the iconic queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. Yes, this was revealed by the actress herself while talking to BBC Radio 5 while promoting her latest film, Maleficent. “The script (for Cleopatra) has been written … there’s been lots of different ideas of directors and lots of different discussions … we’re working on it,” Angelina J said.

Come to think of it, if she plays the part of Cleopatra, does this mean that Brad Pitt will do the role of Mark Antony? Na, Pompey would suit him better.
