October 5, 2004 — Earlier rumors indicated that certain scenes from Oliver Stone's Alexander would be cut, due to depictions of Alexander the Great's bisexual lifestyle. WB has put those rumors to rest:

"That is completely untrue, Warner Bros. Pictures is proud of "Alexander" and thinks it is an exceptional piece of filmmaking. We've moved the release date, as we said earlier, to position it better for Academy consideration. We also want to allow ourselves more time to complete some of its ambitious visual effects. Any speculation that the Studio is trying to cut scenes from "Alexander" based on their depiction of the sexual relationships of the lead character is false and does not accurately represent the content of the film, which portrays Alexander the Great as heroic, and a man of his time and culture".
