What would you like to see...


in a future Alexander the Great film?

My favorite things from his history are:

His refusal to accept any defiance (example: spending 8 months to siege Tyre, only because of the denial to sacrafice at the temple of heracles on the island.)

His utter and growing belief of his divine origins, and his tenacity to surpass the gods (going further into India than Dionysus, taking the rock of aournus, that which even Heracles could not.)

His youthful agression and heroin at the battle of Granicus.

His heroic leap over the walls of an indian town on the way out of India.

His 3 questions to the oracle in Egypt.

You're not going to read this reply, as I'm posting more than two years later, but...good suggestions. YOU should make the next movie about Alexander of Macedon. Maybe then there'll finally be one about him that doesn't suck.

His visit to Jerusalem would be great.

Every single significant part of his history crammed into a really long movie.

a better looking hairpiece than that god-awful thing Richard Burton was wearing on his head.

Not a film at all, but better a HBO series much like Rome. That way Alexander's life could finally be done correctly and over a period of 2 or 3 seasons.

If I ever win the powerball lottery I'll donate all of the winnings to making this happen. :)
