Making Of Alexander

The Official Guide to Alexander, Oliver Stone's Epic Film Lavishly illustrated with dozens of colour stills, this fascinating book gives a unique inside view of the ups and downs of filming. How did Oliver Stone's script evolve? How was Colin Farrell chosen and trained for the big part? What was it like for him and the other stars? What about the battle training? How were such great cities, palaces and costumes designed? And everybody's question: how does the film relate to the known history of Alexander the Great? From the war elephants to the stars in boot camp, the answers are all here. Robin Lane Fox, Oxford historian of Alexander, has worked closely with Oliver Stone as the film's historical adviser. He has watched and interviewed the stars and designers on set. He also rode as a cavalryman in the filming of Alexander's battles. As a result, this book gives a matchless insight into film and history.Fox, Robin Lane is the author of 'Making Of Alexander', published 2004 under ISBN 9780951139219 and ISBN 0951139215.
