Oliver Stone's Alexander the Great

KayTang999 · 06-20-2003, 02:45 PM

Filming start in July and it seems like this one will hit theater before Baz's one.

Obi-Wan Kenobi · 06-20-2003, 09:50 PM

Interesting

KayTang999 · 06-20-2003, 10:38 PM

From Dark Horizons:

Alexander the Great - Directed by Oliver Stone. Biopic based on the life of Alexander the Great, the young Macedonian general who conquered 90% of the world. This follows his eight year campaigns into Persia, Egypt, and India along with his close male and female relationships.
Stars: Colin Farrell

Alexander: Ends of the Earth - Directed by Baz Luhrmann. Biopic based on the life of Alexander the Great, the young Macedonian general who conquered 90% of the world. This follows his earlier years from the death of his father to his intial takeovers into Greece and beyond.
Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman

See the different???

kojs · 06-21-2003, 03:34 AM

i see , Oliver's looks much better. Luhrmann's looks gay.

KayTang999 · 06-21-2003, 03:05 PM

My problem with Baz is Leo. I can't see him as a great conquerer. He just doesn't do it.

Blueman · 06-21-2003, 04:30 PM

yeah plus oliver is a way better director

creamy · 06-21-2003, 05:48 PM

Oliver is a better director, but I HATE Collin Farell.

KayTang999 · 06-21-2003, 09:15 PM

I pick Colin over Leo any day. Oliver's first choice was Heath but Heath felt that the homosexual tone is not what he want to do.

creamy · 06-22-2003, 01:54 PM

Oliver's first choice was Tom Cruise actually. Stone really wanted to work with Cruise on this one, and so did Cruise, but because of the conflicting schedules of of both men, this couldn't happen. Now he picked Colin Farell, who is an OK actor, but certainly not at the same pitch as Cruise or Leo for that matter.

KayTang999 · 06-22-2003, 03:04 PM

It was Cruise??? Cause when I first heard about this project which was a year back and it was attach with Heath. Hmmm, interesting.

Harley Quinn · 06-22-2003, 03:10 PM

hmmm...I don't think I like Leo OR Collin for this part. Tom might've been interesting.

KayTang999 · 06-22-2003, 03:31 PM

Well, they are not the perfect choice for the role for sure. But if Tom is going to be Alexander the Great, that would be interesting to see how they transform him for age to age.

kojs · 06-22-2003, 04:15 PM

Johnny Deep would be awesome for that role.

KayTang999 · 06-22-2003, 05:07 PM

Johnny Depp as Alexander the Great? Nope that is not Depp role. Totally not. It is just it is not his type of role. I can see Johnny being Hannibal, better than Vin Diesel.

kojs · 06-22-2003, 05:32 PM

dude i hate vin diesel sounds like gas company, i just hate that guy and all his movies, he sucks.

KayTang999 · 06-22-2003, 06:01 PM

I have only seen 2 of his work and both not in theater, thank God. I have seen Fast and Furious and Pitch Black.

Hitman · 06-22-2003, 06:20 PM

Hey c'mon guys. Vin came through in Saving Private Ryan but even that was limited screen time. Now we know why. Anyway, Oliver's sounds a hella lot better. I think Colin Farell's a great choice for the role. I might be looking foward to Alexander The Great in the future.

KayTang999 · 06-22-2003, 07:56 PM

Well, for me Saving Private Ryan don't count cause he wasn't the lead in that one.

For me, I think he is a bit overrated.

Omega Supreme · 06-22-2003, 08:18 PM

For me, Vin Diesel is completly talentless.

I could see Collin Farrell playing a Greek/Macedonian, but I definatly couldn't see Tom Cruise doing it. I'm glad he's not going to be in either. Leo is too much of a wuss as well.

I actually really want to see Farrell do this one...

KayTang999 · 06-22-2003, 08:33 PM

Me too Omega but I have other reason to see Oliver Stone's version. Beside Oliver himself and Colin being Alexander.

Omega Supreme · 06-22-2003, 08:38 PM

What reason is that??

Ditto

Piaro · 06-22-2003, 09:06 PM

Wow, I didn't know Cruise was Oliver's first choice. I think it would've been the best and the box office would be way better.

Well if my source is right, they casted Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Cassander and I think that is perfect beside the fact that he is one of my favorite actors.

Harley Quinn · 06-22-2003, 09:17 PM

I like him too, seems like a very intense actor. Oh and he's really hot ;p
