Alexander Still Alive?

sp; E! OnlineE! Online says contrary to published reports, Baz Luhrmann has not--repeat not--pulled the plug on his big-budget historical biopic on the Macedonian conquerer--at least not yet. Yesterday rumours emerged in the British press that Luhrmann decided to scrap the flick because he wanted to take a year off and spend more time with his wife and child. However, disputing those accounts, Luhrmann's Australia-based rep, Maria Farmer, said the filmmaker has not scuttled Alexander and is still firming up plans for his next cinematic outing. "Baz is currently in Europe working on the final draft of his script for Alexander the Great. When he completes that draft he will decide whether Alexander is the next film on his slate/ We do not know where these reports have originated from. They certainly did not come from Baz" says Farmer. Thanks to 'Jerroid' & 'KarlChilders'.
