James Cameron has abandoned the hopes of many as he finally stated that he is looking forward to direct the two sequels of ‘Avatar’ and not helming the ‘Cleopatra’ project with Angelina Jolie. Not very long ago the ace director showed quite a lot of interest to direct the film based on the life of Cleopatra with Jolie.
However, in a talk with FoxNews, Cameron said that people can be sure of the fact that he is not going to direct Cleopatra and will be more interested to start working on ‘Avatar 2’ and ‘Avatar 3’. So till 2015 the box-office churning director is going to be busy with his pet projects. Hence the makers of ‘Cleopatra’ have the tough challenge of finding another director or wait for Cameron till 2015.
This new versions of the ‘Cleopatra’ will track the journey of the Egyptian queen’s life, not only her relationship with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar but also with her brother. The film will also showcase the intellect of the queen. The film will be based on the book by Stacy Schiff named ‘Cleopatra” A Life’.
Cameron previously stated that the legendary queen has always fascinated him and would love to work on the project with Jolie and was sure it’s going to be a hit. However, while stating that Cameron also made a fleeting remark that even if he didn’t direct it the film will be a box-office grosser. We all really did hope that Jolie and Cameron would team up for this project, one now has to wait and see who will take the position of the director in this ambitious project.
