LONDON: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has confirmed plans to star as ‘Cleopatra’ in a new biopic. The 38-year-old actress revealed that many different directors have been suggested for the project, with previous frontrunner Ang Lee seemingly busy on a different project, reportedly.

“We’ve been working on it. There`s been lots of different ideas of directors and lots of different discussions. The script has been written by Eric Roth, who is a dear friend and a brilliant writer,” Jolie said.

However, the ‘Maleficent’ star said that Cleopatra is a “complicated” character to portray, adding that she will have to prepare herself for the role.

“She’s complicated, it’s complicated to get this one right. I think we`re getting there. It’s getting close. I imagine the preparation for it is going to be big.”
