I almost read this as "who should play her" instead of "who should play her dad"...I mean, I'd still watch Zach Galifianakis play Cleopatra.

Zach Galifianakis

"This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives to try and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which avails us nothing and which man should not wish to learn."
Augustine
We don't need modern sensitive effeminates like Zach or John. We need a real man with real chesthair for the role.
Let's just use processor power to plaster Aristoteles "Telly" Savalas' face (and chest!) over some noob actors face.
Who's your daddy,Cleopatra...

Hank Azaria could make a great Ptolemy, but AJ just needs to be Cleo. Sorry Lady Gaga.
Tony Sirico should play Caesar

Hah! Nice. Maybe he should be Mark Antony instead, though, because he has that sort of meatheaded jock type of attitude (and I could definitely see him being toyed with by a seductive woman like Cleopatra). He doesn't exactly carry the same gravitas and dignitas of Gaius Julius Caesar, who put on a rather stoic and humble face in public despite his clearly rabid and unquenchable ambitions. Given his outstanding role as Nikita Khrushchev in that Death of Stalin movie, I stick with my original choice for Caesar: Steve Buscemi.
Jesus. I just tried imagining Buscemi pulling out the "Et tu, Brute?" moment the same way Hinds did in Rome, and ended up laughing for a minute non-stop.

James Purefoy as Marc Antony, don`t dare to use someone else.

Nah it should be a British actor. You can't have a movie set in the ancient times without British people larping as Italians.
More like:
"Jupiter's cock! Remove from ing sight before I remove ing head!"
Why do we need another Cleopatra movie anyway? They are just going to screw it up, either get the story from Shakespeare or some horrible mishmash from various sources, and then have the same conclusion as every other attempt to make this a movie.
Just watch the Liz Taylor film. If just for the fact that it has expensive set pieces, Rex Harris and Richard Burton.
Galifianakis is a satyr, and while satyroi did often play the aulos, I don't think he would be close to the ptolemies - he seems to be more the phocid type, into melting all the silver at Delphi to pay mercenaries in the war lost to Alexander's father.
