Overview

• In a Collider conversation with Margot Robbie, Farrell recalled a four‑week shoot in Morocco for the Battle of Gaugamela as the toughest work of his career.
• He described the setup as eight elephants, about 200 horses and roughly 800 men moving on cue when cameras rolled.
• Farrell said one person broke a leg on horseback but no one died, calling the outcome a miracle.
• He added that a sequence of that scale and risk likely would not be attempted under current industry safety practices.
• Oliver Stone’s 2004 epic Alexander underperformed at the box office but later found an audience through extended home‑video cuts, including Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut.
