“Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut” DVD From Warner Home Video

(August 6, 2007 - Burbank, CA) — At last, audiences can experience Oliver Stone’s "Alexander" as he meant it to be seen, with Warner Home Video’s high definition-debut of "Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut" September 18. Almost three hours of new bonus content includes an introduction by the director, an all-new documentary from Stone’s son, filmmaker Sean Stone, "Fight Against Time: Oliver Stone’s Alexander," with 85 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive web-enabled features and more. The 2-Disc HD and Blu-ray editions will be available for $28.99 SRP. Order due date is August 14. In this newest release of "Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut," the added footage that took the film to a new level of realism and intensity will now be seen in vibrant high-definition. "In Fight Against Time: Oliver Stone’s Alexander," the viewer is given a very personal and rare all-access look at Stone’s journey to make "Alexander." Composer Vangelis also discusses how he relates the music and his methodology to the masterpiece. Now restructured into two acts with an intermission, "Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut" takes a bolder, more in-depth look at Alexander’s (Colin Farrell) life and his relationships with his mother, Olympias (Angelina Jolie), his father Philip (Val Kilmer), his lifelong friend and battle commander Hephaistion (Jared Leto), Roxane, his ambitious and beautiful Bactrian wife (Rosario Dawson), and his trusted general and confidant Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins). The new film intensifies the beauty and unbelievable brutality of Alexander’s pre-Christian world of social customs and morals so different from today’s. The superb cast also boasts Christopher Plummer, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and many more. Oliver Stone, one of cinema's most prolific innovators, and the recipient of three Academy Awards®, has directed such unforgettable films as "Platoon," "Wall Street," "Born on the Fourth of July," "JFK," "The Doors," "Natural Born Killers," "Nixon," "Any Given Sunday" and his most recent, the moving drama "World Trade Center."
