Oliver Stone's Alexander Movie
Greetings Companions!Oliver Stone has got the go ahead to begin filming his movie as Warner Bros. has provided additional financing to the $100 million plus epic and acquired US distribution rights - it may start filming before that other Alexander flick based on Manfredi's books. The race is on!
Re: Oliver Stone's Alexander Movie
And the race is on for quality actors who will seriously assume the characteristics of the individuals in ATG's life to portray them credibly; credibility is very necessary, and, hopefully, the cast will not be Hollywood actors, but preferably, foreign and aspiring.
Re: Oliver Stone's Alexander Movie
I have to agree to a large extent with your comment about the actors. I'm afraid my English prejudice (and with apologies to all non-English Pothos-ites) makes it very hard for me to suspend my disbelief with historical films where all the actors speak with strong American accents - apart from the obvious exceptions, of course, such as The Patriot!But, having said that, I'll still watch the film!All the bestMarcus
Re: Oliver Stone's Alexander Movie
Oliver Stone is planning to have Colin Farrell as Alexander, I think. DOn't know about the rest...
Re: Oliver Stone's Alexander Movie
I'm glad he's doing a different script than the Manfredi one. Stone generally produces good movies.
Did you mean Colin Firth as Alexander? Now he'd be a good one!
