Edit  Reply w/quote bazthegreat Member in POSTS: 6 MEMBER SINCE: 2002-12-23 READ MY PROFILE ADD TO FRIENDS VOTE FOR ME E-MAIL ME REPLIED Saturday, December 28, 2002 01:43:07 AM Stone's version is reportedly beginning production in June 2003, while Luhrmann's version will probably still be in pre-production at this stage. I am very interested to see if Stone's film does go ahead and start shooting as planned, as this will obviously cause some concern for Baz and co. Is there really enough room for two Alexander films with similarly huge budgets? I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Edit Reply w/Quote bazthegreat Member in POSTS: 6 MEMBER SINCE: 2002-12-23 READ MY PROFILE ADD TO FRIENDS VOTE FOR ME E-MAIL ME REPLIED Friday , January 03, 2003 09:55:29 PM I certainly hope having Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman on board will give Luhrmann's production an advantage. However, Stone has now set a starting date of June 2003, which means he is set to begin filming BEFORE Luhrmann. I fear this may cause some problems for Luhrmann's Alexander the Great, but we'll have to wait and see.

I can recall a situation like this, with Dangerous Liaisons. The more I saw the second film (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) the less I liked the blockbuster first film with all the big stars.

Combine that with a budget of 150m compared to Stones 80m, the support of the King of Morocco and his army, I think that Baz's version will be a million times better. I mean colin farrel... as alexander?? as if!!

Another bad role model, from what we read. Sounds like a Robert Downey Jr. in the making. Rostron "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

I just read that the budget for Luhrmann's is 160-million. Epic scale. "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

I mean, it's got Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins and Val Kilmer. Plus, Stone himself is a great director, so I CAN'T WAIT for this movie.

We've seen plenty of spectaculars, so the only new area will be the Greek heroic love. Edit Reply w/Quote NEW POST REPLY
