According to the studio it costed $500,000 (approximately $8.3 million in 2009). The film was loosely based on the plot of William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. The film was very success in it's time. The Hays Movie Code deemed the film as too risque to be shown due some of Bara's costumes. Unfortunately the last two known prints burned in Fox studios and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York fires. Only a few fragments survive today.

Claudette Colbert   
1934

1945

Vivien Leigh played Cleoptra in the 1945 British technicolor version based on the 1901 play by George Bernard Shaw Caesar and Cleopatra. It was directed by Gabriel Pascal and was romantic comedy. It also started Claude Rains as Caesar. This not meant to a historically accurate version it was a coming of age story. It's fun, well acted and has great chemistry between Leigh and Rains.

Nisca takes Cleopatra place and is wooed by a bodyguard who thinks she's the Queen. Cleopatra in this film is depicted as having a "man-a-night" appetite. It's a fun movie that while is not great, it's not terrible. The sets and costumes are great and Loren is both sexy and funny.

Varela's Cleopatra comes as very ambitious. This version was loosely based off "Memories of Cleopatra" by Margaret George. It has great sets and costumes. The acting is fairly good across the board and the battles are well choreographed. The Music is by Trevor Jones and is stunning.

Monica Bellucci

2002

Monica Bellucci played Cleopatra in "Asterix and Obelix Meet Cleopatra". It was directed by Alain Chabat. This film is about Astérix and Obélix who go to Egypt to help architect Numérobis who is building a palace for Cleopatra. It also stars Gérard Depardieu. It's a fun, action/adventure, comedy, that's great for kids, though it does have a PG rating for language, sensuality and mild violence.

Angelina Jolie

2013

Angelina Jolie is slated to play Cleopatra in an upcoming movie version. Many people have strong opinions that she is not an appropriated choice to play the Egyptian Queen. Some feel that a women of color should play Cleopatra, others feel that a women who looked Grecian would be better choice (Cleopatra was Macedonian) and some feel that Jolie is a little too old. Stacy Schiff author of the acclaimed "Cleopatra: A Life" thinks she is a great choice. So we'll have to wait and see how Jolie's Cleopatra will be, but hopefully she won't use a British accent in this role.
