Colin Farrell Talks On Oliver Stone's 'Alexander'
[Monday, July 19th, 2004]Colin Farrell talked to About.com about Alexander, during an interview they had for A Home at the End of the World, here is what he had to say:
What did you think when there were several competing Alexander the Great projects? I don't know. The story is only three thousand years old. Of course, welcome to Hollywood. In the same year, “Hurry, who's going to make the first f*cking one?” It's like Jesus. I know that Oliver has been working on his or thinking about his for ten or twelve years.
Was it your toughest role yet? Yeah, it's been the toughest that maybe I'll ever do.
Why? You’re playing Alexander. It's just a life with so much loss and so much ambition and so much destiny and so many questions and very few answers. It was physically, emotionally, psychologically draining. There was so much philosophy, thought and feeling and pain that went into it. For my money, it's a pretty sad story. It's not “Alexander the Great, Tada!” It's a pretty sad, heavy story.
