The British actor, known for appearing in tough-guy movies such as Sexy Beast and this week's 44 Inch Chest, told DS that he hopes the project, which will seem him play Julius Caesar opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones's Egyptian queen Cleopatra, materialises this year.
"It'll be great! We were supposed to do it last year, but Steven had something else to do, which he's done now, but I haven't heard anything more about it. It would be great to do it this year, but if it happens, it happens and if it doesn't, it doesn't," he said.
Asked if he has any trepidation about changing career direction to star in a song and dance film, Winstone replied: "Nah! No way. I'd love to. Me with the Tony Curtis haircut, giving it large? It'll be great. No, it'll be fabulous! I look good in a skirt, too."
