I stand corrected, and will concede that in a world in which Sasha Grey exists, 3d musical versions of Cleopatra become completely plausible.

The names involved—Pollard and Greer—parse. (Who can forget Greer's work on "Max Keeble's Big Move" and "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector"?) (Fun fact: Greer was once afianced to Pixie/Breeder Kim Deal.) And given that one of Soderbergh's heroes is Richard Lester, it might follow that he'd want to do a rock musical. That said (and not to pick nits, but it wouldn't be a direct jump from "Che" to "Cleo," given that "The Informant" and "Girlfriend Experience" fall between), it still sounds kinda weird.
