February 6, 2004 — RopeofSilicon has posted a set report of Alexander, which is currently filming in Thailand. Here's a clip:
The first scenes that were shot involved the attack on the elephants by the Macedonians that I described in my first set report as the choppers are led by Antigonus into battle against the elephants, only this time the elephants were there in full force...that was not the only part the elephants played as the major portion of the shoot was dedicated to the massive battle toward the end of the film involving Persians, Macedonians, Ethiopians, the Indians, and more.
By the sound of the battle scenes it seems as if the elephants are absolutely magnificent! The "elephants would run full speed at our battalion only to stop on a dime, grab a spear out of our hands and snap it with there trunks, one time they had a elephant knock over a real tree, one time the elephant was gutted (They had this huge rubber intestine that they fixed to the elephants belly that when touched fell down all bloody and nasty).
