CLEO SEARCHES FOR HER ANTONY
Steven Soderbergh’s rock musical Cleo has hit a few snags. Hugh Jackman, who was to play Marc Antony to Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Cleopatra, has had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts, says Variety. Ray Winstone, however, is still in discussions to play Julius Caesar. Of course, none of this has anything to do with the fact Jackman would be starring in a rock musical based on the Egyptian queen. Seriously? That alone should send anyone running. Now maybe Jackman, a consummate Broadway performer, will have a chance to do a remake of Carousel for the big screen. According to Cinematical.com, he has had the rights to it for a while, and seeing him sing and dance in that would make a lot more sense.
