X-Men star Hugh Jackman is no longer in discussions to star in 3D live action musical Cleo, reports Variety. His departure is being blamed on scheduling conflicts by insiders.
The film is also reported to star Catherine Zeta-Jones, though none of the cast has officially been signed as of yet. Zeta-Jones has been asked to play Cleopatra, with discussions underway with Ray Winstone for the role of Julius Caesar. Jackman was to play Roman general Marc Antony; no replacement has been announced yet.
Steven Soderberg is directing the $30 million project.
