Jackman As Antony Opposite Zeta-Jones In Soderbergh’s 3D Rock Musical CLEOPATRA??

I am – Hercules!!

The reason Southern California’s Century City exists is because 20th Century Fox lost a fortune on its Elizabeth Taylor “Cleopatra” and had to sell most of its famed backlot to real estate developers.

Who will give his voice unto Caesar? Michael Douglas? George Clooney? Tim Curry?

Guided By Voices wrote the music for the project:

Blood and destruction, because of one man!!
