The film is produced by Thomas Schühly, IM Internationalmedia Chairman Moritz Borman, Jon Kilik and Iain Smith. Co-Executive Producers are Fernando Sulichin and Gianni Nunnari of Cecchi Gori.
The film project is an epic that is as daring, bold and ambitious as its subject, a relentless conqueror who by the age of 32 had amassed the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Past and present collide to form the puzzle of the protagonist, a tapestry of triumphs and tragedies in which childhood memories and Alexander's rise to power unfold side by side with the later day expansion of his empire, its gradual decline and ultimate downfall.
Stated producer Moritz Borman: "There's been so much talk over the past few years of bringing Alexander the Great's story to the screen, and here we are in Morocco with the cameras finally turning, and Oliver Stone-with an incredible cast and crew-behind them. Alexander's story is so ambitious and complex, but Oliver has written an extraordinary script which captures the man in all of his myriad facets. Oliver Stone's movie will combine great spectacle with riveting, intimate drama."
The film will be presented by Warner Bros. Pictures in North America. I.S. Film Distribution, Intermedia's international sales joint venture with Summit Entertainment, is selling the film in international territories. Constantin Film is the distributor for Germany.
