Catherine Zeta-Jones to star in 'Cleo'


October 23, 2008 Zeta-Jones, who won an Oscar for her turn as the scheming Velma Kelly in Rob Marshall's "Chicago," is set to star in "Cleo," a period musical to be directed by Steven Soderbergh. Song-and-dance man Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to take a lead role in a retelling of the story of Cleopatra, Antony and Caesar set in the 1920s (also the era of "Chicago's" shenanigans). Joseph Mankiewicz co-wrote and directed the most famous "Cleopatra," the 1963 historical epic that starred Elizabeth Taylor, Rex Harrison and Richard Burton.
