Is Angelina Jolie too white to play Egyptian Queen Cleopatra?

Back in June news hit the media airwaves about Angelina Jolie being cast as the last Egyptian Queen Cleopatra in a film based on Stacy Schiff's book Cleopatra: A Life.  And get this, the book isn't even out yet.  Even though the book isn't due out until this coming fall, producer Scott Rudin has already bought the rights to the film stating this film is being developed for Angelina Jolie.    Author Schiff has hinted to Brad Pitt playing Roman general Marc Anthony mimicking 1963's Cleopatra starring then couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
