Has there been anything on her that hasn't already been covered in past films?
Most depictions leave out Arsinoe, Cleopatra's sister who declared herself Queen and invaded Alexandria to some success, most notably trapping Julius Caesar at the Lighthouse and forcing him to abandon his armor and swim for it, before she got betrayed by several of her own officers and handed over to the Romans in exchange for the captured Ptolemy XIII. Caesar eventually pardoned her and sent her to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, where years later Cleopatra and Mark Antony had her killed out of revenge on the steps of the Temple which caused a major scandal and helped turn Roman opinion against them.
