Pressure On For 'Alexander The Great' Rivals

[Friday, January 17th, 2003]
After landing Warner Bros. as domestic partner on Alexander the Great Intermedia has set a late June start for Colin Farrell and Oliver Stone, says Variety.

"Barring accidents and natural disasters, this is a definite 'go' movie for us," said Intermedia chairman Moritz Borman. "Colin's deal has been made, he's juggled his dates and made time for training. We've not decided 100% where we are going to start, haven't made up our minds whether we'll sell territories ourselves, or to a studio like we did on Terminator 3. The June date changes only in that Oliver might begin second unit shooting earlier."

Borman wouldn't disclose locations, but if his timetable is accurate, the pressure is on for the rival Alexandar the Great which will be directed by Baz Luhrmann and stars Leonardo DiCaprio.
