Hugh Jackman Drops Out of ‘Cleo’
Hugh Jackman was supposed to be in line to star in a new musical about Cleopatra called Cleo starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, but he dropped out.
Hugh Jackman has removed himself from discussions to star with Catherine Zeta-Jones in Cleo, a 3-D live action musical which Steven Soderbergh will direct as his next project, says Variety.
No deal had been signed as the ambitious $30 million project is completing its financing, but Soderbergh asked his Traffic star Zeta-Jones to play Cleopatra and wanted new Oscar host Jackman to play her lover, the Roman general Marc Antony.
Sounds like it would have been right up his ally considering his broadway experience. I’m surprised he’s not going to do it.
