In an apparent attempt to dispel widespread speculation about how his Alexander the Great film will approach the issue of homosexuality, Colin Farrell, who appears in the title role, has told a gay-oriented website in the U.K. that the film will not dwell on the character's sexuality. Interviewed by the website Gay.com <http://uk.gay.com/>, Farrell said, "There may be details of Alexander's sexuality in the film but [director Oliver Stone] wanted to portray the figure accurately and didn't want to ignore facts surrounding his sexual antics." He went on to suggest that homosexual conduct was commonplace in Macedonian culture, adding: "It's not a gay film, it's not a straight film ... it's just a f***ing story!"
