Spanish movie hunk Antonio Banderas is in negotiations to play Napoleon in a new stage musical. Spurred on by his Broadway, New York, success in Nine, Banderas is keen to find other stage projects in which to star - and his next big production could be as the infamous French leader. Banderas says, "I have some proposals now. I'm looking at a new Cy Coleman musical based on Napoleon. I'm going to take time to revise this and see if it's the right vehicle." And that's not the only historical project Banderas is keen to work on - he's also planning to make his directorial debut with a movie about legendary Spanish Caliph Boabdil. He adds, "He was the last caliph of the Kingdom of Granada, after the Arabs were in Spain for eight centuries. He was not meant to be the king but his father was expelled from the throne and, accidentally, fate put him in a place where he didn't want to be. He was a mathematician, astronomer, poet and humorist. He had to deal with the last remains of eight centuries of Arab domination in Spain. He's a guy who saw an entire kingdom falling apart. It's a very Shakespearean kind of drama."
