A 3-D MUSICAL ABOUT CLEOPATRA
10.24.08
This morning’s news cycle hasn’t done Hangover Bear any favors
Read this and tell me it doesn’t sound like the plot of a Christopher Guest movie:
For his next directing effort, Steven Soderbergh is plotting a 3-D live-action rock ’n’ roll musical about Cleopatra.
He is courting Catherine Zeta-Jones to play the Egyptian queen and Hugh Jackman to play her lover, Marc Antony.
The $30 million “Cleo” will be shopped for financing and distribution within the next two weeks.
The music has been written by the indie rock band Guided by Voices, and the script is by James Greer, a former bass player for the band and an author. [LatinoRevue]
Wow, 3-D musical about Cleopatra. Those chicks from The Bangles are gonna be pissed.

Holy shit! It worked!?!?
Hey Vince, I’ve been on the schnide with the wife lately. Any chance you can give her a call, or at least a nudge when you leave tonight and remind her that I like sex too?
In other news, Crispin Glove will play a palm tree
Hugh Jackman as Marc Anthony? He was queer? I don’t get it. Oh, it’s a musical! Why not Clay Aiken as Cleopatra then?
The Mighty Feklahr is sure if you call this musical’s 900 number, it will tell you TEH FOOTUREZ!
BTK, I totally love you in a non-hetero way, Lince.
I liked 3-D musicals better when they were called Broadway shows.
Come on, Catherine Zeta Jones? Now Salma Hayek, there’s a broad with DDDs worth seeing in 3-D.
What can I say, Hangover Bear is my homeboy this morning.
Casting for this was a no-brainer since Catherine Zeta Jones has been living in a third dimension for quite some time.
In related news, 500 horses were slaughtered for the making of the weaves shown in the banner pic.
I think my local strip club was having a preview last week. The sign said “Come See Cleopatra’s DDDs”.
Hey mon! Don’ be tellin meh you’s avva fo’gotten ’bout Mees Cleo? CALL NOW!
Just so I have this right, it’s a musical and it’s in 3-D? Dumb, Dimwitted, Dipshitted idea, this.
I’m surprised the Pussycat Dolls aren’t somehow involved with this.
Catherine Zeta-Jones committed career suicide with the asp that is known as Michael Douglas’ cock.
J. Lo is pissed about the casting decisions for this musical. There is no way in hell someone who looked like Hugh Jackman would marry her.
I cannot wait to see Catherine Zeta Jones in an Egyptian-style cheerleader outfit for the “Ra Ra Ra” number.
Soderbergh is clearly in denile about how much this is gonna suck.
*begins self-loathing for the day*
New Up!
New 1Up!
Wow, no one’s mentioned this yet?
MacGyver season four, episode nine: Cleo Rocks
Teri Hatcher plays a bumbling actress cast in a Cleopatra-themed rock and roll musical.
Didn’t Guided by Voices break up? And why would they have a little-known indie band do it when the Hanson Brothers are looking for something like this to kick-start their meth habits?
