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. Can't wait to see it though it looks quite interesting. Colin Farrel would make a good Alexander as well.
I know that Baz Lourman (spelling ?) is also doing one with Leonardo de caprio , but it has been shelved for the time been. this one girls father I know (well via a friend) is actually working on that film
Isn't that Troy? Colin Farrel is a decent actor, but the rest of the cast looks promising (especially Angelina Jolie ). It's kind of centered around Farrel's performance since he's the only actor with his name on the title.
Ive known about his movie for a while now and I've seen the trailers when the first got released and I tell you the only reason why I would go see this movie is for Angelina Jolie
Isn't that Troy? [/b][/quote] 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.

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.
angelina jolie plays his mom?!?!!? aghh! i'm so confused.... :chemist: [/b][/quote] 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. http://www.allstarz.org/~colinfarrell/film...lympia_logo.jpg See for yourself. :wth:
yeah there is a bit of incecst in this film (remember gladiator?) which was conciderd normal for them in thoughs days, remember they did try and keep royalty in the family.
