The Binary Circumstance

The release date for Oliver Stone’s movie Alexander has been pushed back to November 24. The delayed opening is reportedly due to studio execs who want more of the male-male sex cut out of the picture.

“Alexander was almost certainly bisexual, and [director] Oliver Stone wanted to portray that,” says the source. “So there are scenes between Colin [Farrell, who plays Alexander] and women, but there’s also some passionate scenes between Colin and Francisco Bosch.???

Bosch plays Bagoas, a Persian eunuch, who many historians believe was Alexander’s lover.

“Some of the suits at Warner Bros. think that the movie-going public just isn’t ready to see that,” the insider reports. “There’s some pretty heated arguments going on over it.???

The 24th is the day before Thanksgiving. That might also have had something to do with it.
