<p>Angelina Jolie&#8217;s portrayal of Cleopatra in a new biopic will not be that of a sexy seductress, it has been claimed.</p>
<p>The Hollywood starlet is to play the Egyptian queen in Sony Pictures&#8217; new 3D biopic, based on Stacy Schiff&#8217;s biography Queen Of The Nile, Cleopatra: A Life. Director Scott Rudin has told Deadline that the film focuses on Cleopatra as a great ruler.</p>
<p>Scott said: &#8220;It is a completely revisionist Cleopatra, a much more grown-up sophisticated version.</p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s not a sex kitten, she&#8217;s a politician, strategist, warrior. In the Joseph Mankiewicz movie, Elizabeth Taylor is a seductress, but the histories of Cleopatra have been written by men. This is the first to be written by a woman.</p>
<p>&#8220;It felt like such a blow-the-doors-off-the-hinges idea of how to tell it, impossible to resist. We&#8217;re pretty close. A lot of directors want to do it, but there is only a handful we&#8217;ll make it with.&#8221;</p>
<p>James Cameron had previously been in talks to direct the project, but Deadline now reports Bourne director Paul Greengrass is being tipped to direct the film.</p>
<p>Scott didn&#8217;t reveal who would be behind the camera, but said &#8220;we&#8217;re pretty close&#8221; to signing a director.</p>
