This falls in the WTF? Did I just read that category. Variety reports on Steven Soderbergh's proposed next project after Che:
For his next directing effort, Steven Soderbergh is plotting a 3-D live-action rock ’n’ roll musical about Cleopatra.
He is courting Catherine Zeta-Jones to play the Egyptian queen and Hugh Jackman to play her lover, Marc Antony.
The music has been written by the indie rock band Guided by Voices, and the script is by James Greer, a former bass player for the band and an author.
While Soderbergh has recently done a spate of wildly different projects, this one will be his first full-blown musical.
Catherine Zeta-Jones was great in Chicago, and I'd love to see Hugh in a big screen musical, but I don't know about this one.
