Soderbergh Making 3-D Cleopatra
Steven Soderbergh is looking to direct Cleo, a 3-D live-action rock ’n’ roll musical about Cleopatra starring Catherine Zeta-Jones in the title role and Hugh Jackman as her lover, Marc Antony.

The project is budgeted at $30 million.
Soderbergh is next in theaters with Che starring Benicio Del Toro.

Finally, he’s also directing The Girlfriend Experience starring adult film star Sasha Grey.
