About this title

Synopsis

Having worked on the film as historical advisor, official commentator, extra (he served as a cavalryman on location, riding with the stars in the film's spectacular battles) and leading Oxford historian on Alexander the Great, The Making Of Alexander is an unrivalled look at both the life of one of the greatest leaders in history and one of the biggest film releases of the year. Fully endorsed by Warner Bros. and featuring over 130 exclusive on-set photographs from the film and interviews with cast and crew this is a stunning guide through the process of the film's production and the life of Alexander. How did Stone's script evolve? How was Colin Farrell chosen? How were the sets and cities designed? And the question everybody asks: how does the film relate to the known history of Alexander the Great? All the answers can be found in this guide.
