    ALEXANDER
    Release Date: November 5th, 2004

    Director: Oliver Stone
    Screenwriter: Christopher Kyle

    Cast:
    Colin Farrel as Alexander the Great
    Rosario Dawson as Roxanne
    Sir Anthony Hopkins as Ptolemy
    Angelina Jolie as Olympia
    Val Kilmer as Philip, King of Macedonia
    Jared Leto as Hephaistion
    Ian Beattie as Antiginous
    Rory McCann as Crateros
    Joseph Morgan as Philotas
    Jonathon Rhys-Meyers as Cassander
    Raz Degan as Darius III, Shah of Persia
    Brian Blessed as Leonidas
    Laird Macintosh as Neoptolomus
    Gary Stretch as Cleitus
    Connor Paolo as Young Alexander
    Elliot Cowan as Young Ptolemy

    Genre: Action, Adventure

    Storyline:
    Alexander the Great, played by Colin Farrell, led his armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years, and conquered 90% of the known world by the age of 25. Hailing from the tiny country of Macedonia, Alexander commanded his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally made his way east to India. One of Alexander's top surviving generals, Ptolemy, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, would later become the Pharoahe of Egypt. Alexander died young, of illness, at the age of 33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture, facilitating the spread of Christianity centuries later, and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the expansion of the Roman Empire. Led by its all-star cast, "ALEXANDER" will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his relationship with his boyhood friend, battlemate, and lover, Hephaistion, played by Jared Leto.

    You make everything look so proffesional. :lol:


    Can't wait to see it though it looks quite interesting. Colin Farrel would make a good Alexander as well.

    Isn't that Troy? :blink:


    Colin Farrel is a decent actor, but the rest of the cast looks promising (especially Angelina Jolie (w00t) ). It's kind of centered around Farrel's performance since he's the only actor with his name on the title. :rolleyes:

    No. "Troy" stars Brad Pitt. There's another Alexander movie slated for 2006 which stars Leonardo DiCaprio.

    And, Mcnasty, what trailers? There are no trailers for "Alexander." Just a couple production photos. I'd like to know where you saw these trailers because you're obviously lying.

    You are probably thinking of "Troy" because they just got done filming "Alexander" a few days ago and no trailers will be released until at least July.

    It was troy that you must have seen as principal photography for Alexandra has even finished yet, so I think there has been a misunderstanding , and I know that most of the televion stations are going into hyper mode promoting Troy , oh and by the way im ganna see the premier in a weeks time in London.

    No it wasnt a trailer for Troy I saw and it wasnt really a trailer for Alexander either its was on ET and it was like a slideshow of shots from the movie and I remember one of them was Angelina Jolie standing by her self looking in to the camera looking sooo sexy. She was wearing a robe (I wish nothing) and she had like black eye make-up on.

    You must've just saw a bunch of pre-production photos then because there are no trailers for that movie yet and there won't be any for a long time.

    Yep, that's true and when Alexander is an adult too...at least according to this photo, but I also heard that she only appears in flashback scenes so I'm not too sure.
