January 20, 2004 — Oliver Stone has imposed strict rules on the set of "Alexander", starring Colin Farrell.

"It's a closed set," said publicist Michael Singer. "It's to allow the production to go ahead without distractions."

With few exceptions, the media has been barred from visiting the set of the film about Alexander the Great, which stars Colin Farrell as the Macedonian conqueror.

Furthermore, cast members said they'd been warned not to take their own photographs of a battle scene being filmed this week in Lopburi province, 115 kilometres north of Bangkok.

"We've been warned that if Oliver sees us with a camera, he'll storm over, stomp all over the camera and personally escort you off the set," said one actor.

The team is shooting scenes in which Alexander confronts an Indian king, Porus, during his invasion of India in 325 BC. More filming is planned in northeastern Ubon Ratchathani province in coming weeks.
