Colin Farrell won a GoldenGlobe for TheBansheesOfInisherin , but there is a movie in his career that he is not proud of - Alexander. After 19 years, Farrell recounts making the movie and the experience with the terrible reviews.
It has been 19 years since the release of 2004's Alexander, and Colin Farrell is still weighed down by the shame of the production. What was intended to be Oliver Stone's epic historical depiction of Alexander the Great's rise proved to be a colossal failure rife with historical inaccuracies and allegations of xenophobia that targeted the Persian empire. The film grossed a mere $167.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While the project has largely been forgotten, Colin Farrell's career has moved on since Alexander, especially earning award nominations for The Banshees of Inisherin, directed by Farrell's collaborator Martin McDonagh. However, Farrell still recounts his experience making the movie. In an interview with THR, Farrell has begun to reflect on the complete and utter shame Alexander brought him, and why it left such a blot on his mind and his career.
"Expectation is a dangerous thing. There was a load of things that went on with Alexander.
Farrell's own shame aside, the film is also incredibly historically flawed. With many key battles of Alexander's career left out entirely, the Persians were depicted with garbs that they never wore and were often shown as more disorganized than they were. With the Macedonians often mistaken for being Greeks themselves, the film utterly fails to retell the historical realities of Alexander's time.
Colin Farrell Bounced Back To Become A Favorite For This Year's Oscars Despite how ashamed he is of Alexander, Farrell's career didn't end in 2004. After Alexander's, Farrell starred in renowned productions such as The Lobster, In Bruges, and The Batman. His recent hit, The Banshees of Inisherin, could very well net him his Oscar nomination, having just recently won a Golden Globe Award for his performance.
