sp; JoBloYou know the whole point of taking risky roles is to be - well, risky. Colin Farrell has made headlines this year for taking on two bisexual film characters in a row, and yet whilst initial plans may have had an edge, judging by the final product one can hardly tell there was anything controversial to begin with.
If the cutting of the "Home at the End of the World" penis scenes didn't get gossip columns over the world excited, along comes a report today from MSNBC claiming that one of the reasons for the three week delay of Oliver Stone's "Alexander" is that executives at the studio want to cut some of the film’s male-on-male love scenes.
An insider says "Alexander was almost certainly bisexual, and [director] Oliver Stone wanted to portray that. So there are scenes between Colin and women, but there’s also some passionate scenes between Colin and Francisco Bosch. Some of the suits at Warner Bros. think that the movie-going public just isn’t ready to see that. There’s some pretty heated arguments going on over it".
Bosch plays the Persian eunuch Bagoas who many historians believe was one of Alexander’s long-term lovers. When contacted though, a WB spokesman claims to know nothing about any such controversy - "we wouldn’t talk about anything involving the process of making a movie".
In better news, a new trailer has launched at <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=6582" target="_blank">Coming Soon</a> and whilst the teaser was a little underwhelming, this baby is vastly improved and looks sweet in any case.
Thanks to 'Wall'.
