GIP

Because I want to see Colin Farrell making out with Jared Leto as much as the next person.

Alexander! Colin Farrell plays a world conqueror with hideous hair and Jared Leto plays Hephaestion, his favourite general, best friend, and lover. The pretty is not lacking in this movie, at all. Behold: Rosario Dawson, Angelina Jolie, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers... I'll spend the entire movie drooling on the popcorn and making mini porn flicks in my head, thank you.

Brad Pitt's originally supposed to play Hephaestion until Jennifer Anniston insisted it would be bad for his image. I'd smack Anniston but I don't know, Leto's hot, so it's all good. Heath Ledger was originally supposed to be Alexander. I'm not much for Ledger, but I can do with any number of that combination. Any two would be good. Or any three, possibly four, with wine and massage oil.

...What superficial? Where?

What I'm kind of sad about is that there was supposed to be another Alexander movie by Baz Luhrmann, but it didn't work out. That would have been beautiful. I'd have liked to see Alexander by Baz Luhrmann. But I can deal with an Oliver Stone movie with beautiful things in it. It's all good.

Also, does Colin look like Macgyver in that picture or what?

Edit: Crazy. There are communities already: [livejournal.com profile] alexanderfics and [livejournal.com profile] alexander_rpfic. ...Wow.

I heard about Pitt from a variety of sources, one of which is the Alexander homepage itself. Behold. (http://www.alexander-the-great.co.uk/jared_leto.htm) Last paragraph:
"The role was originally offered to Brad Pitt but was turned down due to pressure from his wife, Jennifer Aniston."

How'd your friend get to see the Luhrmann script?

I think it got started because of confusion over Troy and Alexander. Also, I remember there was a lot of confusion over the fact that there were so many rumors. I looked for over an hour and there aren't any actual articles linking them. The website you pointed out has mistakes just like IMDb does and this person doesn't tell us what the source is. I emailed them for a reply but, last time I tried they didn't respond. (It's also someone personal website. There isn't an official page up and they usually don't do that until the first commercial comes out. Of course it depends on the movie too and the fandom.) I never believe them unless they can give me confirmation and IMDb mixs up stuff all the time and the website is one I know about but, don't look at much because of it's inaccuracies. The Alexander Rumor control and Colin Farrell Fansite are both wonderful websites and they give all the facts and they tell you the source so you can think/verify its credibility.

Here is where I think the confusion got started.

My friend(s) got to see it because they work in the film industry and that's how I hear some stuff that I can't confirm. Far too much gossip, most of which I will never post unless I hear about it from another source.

Also, I mentioned Alexander rumor control and The Colin Farrell Fansite but, I didn't tell you the addresses. LOL. Go to [livejournal.com profile] alexanderfics and they are in the links.

^___^ Have fun looking.
