Leonardo DiCaprio Rules out Alexander
By James Wray Dec 6, 2004, 12:15 GMT
Leonardo DiCaprio has told Moviehole that director Baz Luhrmann's Alexander the Great is also no longer in his future. Nicole Kidman had previously said that she would not be playing Olympias in Luhrmann's version.
"Alexander The Great was one of those things where [Martin] Scorsese and I just share the same taste in similar things. We were both fascinated with Alexander The Great as well as Howard Hughes. They're completely different time periods and different men, but similar dynamics, men that keep on reaching for their ultimate goal and stop at nothing until they achieve that. It just happened to be that this script (The Aviator) and project was way further advanced in the development stage than the script that landed in our lap from Alexander and we wanted to go forth - we had an intention at one time of doing them both, but you don't get everything you want all the time."
Earlier this year a rep for Luhrmann had said he was not abandoning his Alexander movie.
