Colin Farrell was wrong for this part

I disagree, yes his acting is very bad but I just can't picture anyone else in that role.

Around the same time as this movie was being made, there was another one in the pipeline with Leonardo diCaprio as Alexander. The project was dropped later. Can't see him as the great Alexander either. Today, who might fill the role? There has to be someone. Not an easy role to pull off, as he was such a complex young man.

I honestly have no idea, physically speaking Colin Farrell was perfect. Even his acting was in a it's so bad it's good kinda way-

I agree, he doesn't look convincing at all.

Yes, same goes for Rosario Dawson. Would it have killed them to get an actual Iranian or other "exotic" looking person for the role of Roxana?
They get a common looking dime-a-dozen actress instead.
