The Avatar helmer confirmed rumours linking him to the Sony Pictures 3D epic, saying that the life of the Egyptian queen has always fascinated him.
"I've been talking to them about it but no decisions have been made," he told The New York Times.
"It sounds hot, doesn't it? I mean, Angelina Jolie and Cleopatra? To me, that's like a slam dunk. Whether I wind up doing it or not, I think it's going to be a great project."
Cameron added that the failure of 1963's Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra will not put him off revisiting the subject matter with Jolie.
"There were a lot of people betting against us on Titanic as well. That kind of stuff isn't particularly daunting to me," he commented.
