Catherine Zeta-Jones as Steven Soderbergh’s Rock-n-Roll Cleopatra?

Steven Soderbergh always gets the interesting project rumors going around them. The new word today is that he’s prepping a 3-D rock musical version of Cleopatra (entitled Cleo) with songs from Guided By Voices and a script from ex-bass player James Greer, and that he wants Catherine Zeta-Jones to star as the title character and Hugh Jackman to play the role of her doomed lover Marc Antony. This is after he made his massive 4-hour epic about Che Guevara due out later this year, and a low-budget movie featuring a porn star showing us The Girlfriend Experience.

What the hell? You know what - go for it. Knock our socks off.
