Alex-slander the Great?
Nov. 20th, 2004 10:31 amA fact that is in no historical document or archive on Alexander, you say?
"A group of Greek lawyers are threatening to sue Warner Bros film studios and Oliver Stone, director of the widely anticipated film “Alexander,” for suggesting Alexander the Great was bisexual.
The lawyers have already sent an extrajudicial note to the studio and director demanding they include a reference in the title credits saying his movie is a fictional tale and not based on official documents of the life of the Macedonian ruler."
Ummm... right. Somewhere in the Elysian Fields, Alexander is stomping around saying "What did I have to *do*?? Did I not make a big enough fuss over his death? What?!" and Hephaestion is making little soothing motions trying to calm him down...
But hey, I'm thrilled to hear that the lawyers “have not seen the film but from the information [they] have already there are references to his alleged homosexuality" - because it's not like you could tell that from the previews. You say Jared Leto is actually in the movie somewhere?
