The Hollywood Reporter wrote today about
Ridley Scott finding the lead actress for his ambitious epic drama
GERTRUDE BELL. The role will go to
Angelina Jolie who will now play the seminal Middle East figure in the early 1900s, who left her upper-class English roots behind and went to Asia and the Middle East. She established the boundaries and framework for what would become the countries Jordan and Iraq. During
World War I, she became a spy for British Intelligence, and her work helped put an end to the Ottoman Empire. The bad news is that the script was written by the writer of utterly monotonous THE CONSTANT GARDENER. As you know Angelina also has
CLEOPATRA in her plans, while Ridley is currently finishing his sf film
PROMETHEUS with
Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson and
Michael Fassbender.

Sony Pictures is moving on with their biopic on
STEVE JOBS. The proof that they didn't wait long after the death of the Apple founder is the fact that they already have two contenders for the lead role -
Noah Wyle and
George Clooney. As "MovieWeb" reports Wyle already played Jobs back in 1999. in a TV movie PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY, and as you know both Wyle and Clooney starred together in ER.
