After Firaxis artists', the image of Alexander the Great takes another blow

[Ted Striker]

This is a global tragedy for all of Western Civilization.

ATG was the Ultimate True Player, laying the smackdown on anybody in his path. There has got to be a masculine, intelligent, spirited actor that can pull of this part. I can't even think of anyone off the top of my head.

Wait who is the guy from American Pyscho? He would be PERFECT.

Christian Bale

Alright, this dude is PERFECT to play Alexander. Guys want to be him and all the ladies fall over when you mention his name. His is strong, intelligent, charming, buff, and even LOOKS like Alexander.

Bale as Alexander dammit!

[Ted Striker]

damn you

[Alexander's Horse]

I think DiCaprio could make a good Alexander. He assumed the throne as a youth and died not more than 30 years old. Alexander should be "boyish".

As for the sexuality issue, as MarkG would (or should) know the ancient Greeks made no distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality. It was common for men to be initiated into sex by older men. Hence Alexander closest male friend Haiphaston (sp?) was also his lover.

Later Alexander married Roxanne but there were children iirc.

Bale as Alexander ...

I like this dude, he was good in "Reign of Fire"

I reckon that is not real real but an artistic rendering of what the real was.

I do? How come I don't know that?

[Sava]

I wouldn't mind being Christian Bale... I'd change my first name though

[Ted Striker]

Sava,

I saw American Pyscho and it was a brilliant movie, and Bale did a good job.

Urban,

Personally I would like to be well rounded Bale's characters are. He seems to have it all. (Well of course I wouldn't want that whole psycho killer thing or deceitfulness that he has).

[Sava]

haha that movie was funny... I liked it when he ran into the building and shot the doorman. He did this hilarious little evil laugh.

"Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?"

[Sava]

He did some kind of intelligent music critic type analysis of that music, IIRC....

[Ted Striker]

Right before he axed that guy in the back of the head too!
