Script Report: ALEXANDER
October 7th, 2003
Director Oliver Stone has recently talked to the press about ALEXANDER, his epic film starring Colin Farrell in the title role as the Macedonian king.
"Knock on wood, it's going very well," he told the Associate Press. "We're on schedule and on budget. The weather's been a little tricky, with sandstorms and rain that surprised us. But we're pushing on."
The director said Morocco was the key location for the film, which will later move to Thailand for scenes involving elephants and England for studio sequences. Stone paid tribute to the film's producer, Moritz Borman.
"He was the only producer who didn't pull out of Morocco after the bombings (in Casablanca) in May, when other Hollywood producers pulled out and bad-mouthed the country," Stone said.
