Alexander is an epic story that is as daring, bold and ambitious as its subject, a relentless conqueror who by the age of 32 had amassed the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Past and present collide to form the puzzle of the protagonist (Colin Farrell), a tapestry of triumphs and tragedies in which childhood memories and Alexander’s rise to power unfold side by side with the later day expansion of his empire, its gradual decline and ultimate downfall.

February 5, 2007: Alexander Revisited:
You may be done with Oliver Stone's epic misfire ALEXANDER but he isn't. He's had a big itch to re-tool the film since its theatrical release in 2004 and though he did manage to give it a slight nip and a little tuck back in 2005, it hardly quelled that itch....
December 22, 2005: Stone's 9/11 film title:

November 22, 2004: INT: Oliver Stone:

conspiracies, betrayals, corruption, lust for...
November 17, 2004: Alexander premiere pics:
I don't think ALEXANDER
looks like the best movie to come down the pike this year (the film

my left testicle to be a fly on the wall on...
October 14, 2004: Clips: Alexander, Kong:
I think the latest installment in Peter Jackson's video diary for KING KONG is
definitely worth a look for several reasons. First of all, we get to see Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody in costume. Second, it features Jackson in a

October 1, 2004: New Alexander trailer:
Comingsoon.net recently put up a pretty intense trailer for Warner Bros' upcoming ALEXANDER . One thing I've noticed with the trailers for this movie is that we barely hear Alexander (Colin Farrell) speak. We see him brood, grimace, laugh, growl,...

September 15, 2004: Buncha Alexander pics:
Meh. I can't say that
there's much about ALEXANDER
that's exciting me so far, other than the fact that it's Oliver
Stone's return behind the camera (the last full feature he directed...

Is Val Kilmer starting to call in some favors to help keep this rejuvenation of his career on track and chugging ahead at full steam? Even if he isn't making the calls, someone is looking out for him, and it appears there is no stopping the man. Following...
July 22, 2003: Jolie is Colin's mom:
I fully expect to hear news later this year that Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie are an item (even if they're not). Why? Jolie has signed on to Oliver Stone's epic ALEXANDER, starring alongside Farrell as Alexander the Great's mother, Olympias. And really,...
