In Oliver Stone's three-hour drama, "Alexander," Colin Farrell, as the fourth-century Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great, has a number of tender love scenes with his best friend, Hephaistion, played by a long-haired Jared Leto. In the film, which cost about $155 million to produce, Alexander is also married to Roxane, played by Rosario Dawson, but the marriage takes a back seat to his passion for his boyhood friend.

From this article, thank you nepenth for the hook up.

Well, according to THIS ARTICLE, there is "no extensive evidence" for making Alexander a bisexual, which is what has those people all upset.

Of course if the movie was 100% historically acturate, it would probably be classified as a Docuementary, which I doubt many movie studios want.

As for the lawsuits, yea, a bit thin skinned, I think.

No extensive evidence, perhaps, but the relationship with his best friend was... beyond close, and it is certaingly understandable from my point of view, given the known relationship between Spartans (Sacred Band and all that...)

Yeah. There's been documentaries out the yin-yang...
