" David Fincher is the latest director rumoured to be taking charge of Angelina Jolie&amp;#039;s Cleopatra movie. According to Deadline, producer Scott Rudin wants to reunite with his Oscar-nominated Social Network helmer on Sony Pictures&amp;#039; historical biopic. Jolie is attached to play the Egyptian queen in the film, which will be based on Stacy Schiff&amp;#039;s Pulitzer Prize-winning book Cleopatra: A Life. Rudin previously said that he wants to present a &amp;quot;grown-up sophisticated version&amp;quot; of Cleopatra that bears little resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor&amp;#039;s 1963 epic. Fincher&amp;#039;s appointment on Cleopatra is reportedly dependent on the progress of The Girl Who Played With Fire, the sequel to his Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake, and if Sony is willing to make his schedule work to direct both pictures. Directors such as James Cameron and Paul Greengrass have been linked to Cleopatra.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
