New York, January 1 : Oscar-winning American director Steven Soderbergh is planning a rock ''''n'''' roll 3D musical about Cleopatra.

He is teaming up with Hugh Jackman and Catherine Zeta-Jones for the musical.

"Our version (of the Cleopatra story) will be like an Elvis musical in 3D. It''''s a total rock ''''n'''' roll, 1966 aesthetic - like ''''Viva Las Vegas'''' meets ''''Tommy''''," the New York Post quoted Soderbergh as telling Britain''''s Independent.

"I''''ve wanted my whole career to make a musical. And the 3D makes it more challenging but makes it more fun," he added.

Soderbergh''''s most recent work was the 4½-hour `Che', which was critically slammed. (ANI)
