ReplyDeleteIt is good to know that, unlike UK that is making less and less epic shows due to being faced to make them woke by their government, other countries are still making and planning them.
DeleteGotta watch this!
ReplyDeleteHope it gets done.
DeleteAlexander sounds really good. Shot in Greece, so you know it will have some great scenery. I did love Tudors, so that attachment there gives me hope for this one!
ReplyDeleteHope they don't cast some idiot like Colin Farrell with a blond wig in the lead role.

ReplyDeleteThey should be shooting in Macedonia if you ask me, the real home of Alexander, you know. The ex republic of my old country.
