In the history of Hollywood, "Cleopatra" was shot in two versions. In 1934, Cecil B. Demir and Claude Corbet collaborated to shoot the first version. The film won the Oscar for Best Photography that year. And in 1963, the 20th Century Fox Film Company, which was then unparalleled, announced the arrival of the Hollywood blockbuster era with a super luxurious lineup of "Cleopatra". The film is directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Elizabeth Taylor. Although the film dragged the producer into the quagmire of losses, it still became a classic.
The "Cleopatra" in the title of the film refers to Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. Previously, Hollywood focused on the love affair between her and Caesar the Great of the Roman Empire and after Caesar's assassination, she and the general Anthony. The history of the rise and fall of the entire ancient Roman Empire is mixed in it, from Caesar to Octavian. However, how the all-female Cleopatra version of Patty Jenkins will deal with this story is still unknown.
