Cleopatra: Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins collaborate again

Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins celebrated a great success with "Wonder Woman". Now the duo brings "Cleopatra" back to the screen.

Actress Gal Gadot (35, "Fast & Furious Five") and director Patty Jenkins (49, "Monster") already worked together on the two comic book adaptations "Wonder Woman" and "Wonder Woman 1984". Now the successful duo is getting together again and brings a legend to life, which was embodied in 1963 by Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011): "Cleopatra".

As "The Hollywood Reporter" confirms, the film biography about the last female pharaoh of Egypt is being made for the film studio Paramount Pictures. The script was written by Laeta Kalogridis (55). Charles Roven (71) as well as leading actress Gal Gadot and her husband Jaron Varsano (45) are on board as producers.

Gal Gadot loves the "thrill of breathing life into new stories"

On twitter the 35-year-old Israeli was happy about her new job. "I love going on new journeys. I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of breathing new stories," wrote Gadot. "Cleopatra" is one of those stories that she has wanted to tell "for a long time". "I couldn't be more grateful for this A-Team."

"Wonder Woman," the first collaboration between Gadot and filmmaker Jenkins, is the most commercially successful live-action film by a female director to date. Work on the sequel "Wonder Woman 1984" was recently completed.
