The Avatar director is in early negotiation with Sony Pictures to direct a new biopic of the Queen of the Nile in 3D, Deadline reports. Sony Pictures bosses decided to fast-track its 3D Cleopatra project after screenwriter Brian Helgeland wrote what was is being described as a "brilliant script deserving of epic treatment" all about "what the Romans took from Egypt". Elizabeth Taylor famously portrayed Cleopatra on screen opposite her husband to be Richard Burton in the 1963 film, and Brad Pitt's name has already been linked to the part of Roman warrior Marc Antony.
