ComingSoon.net got a chance to speak with Val Kilmer while he was on his press rounds in support of his upcoming release Spartan and he revealed a few tidbits and spoilers concerning the Oliver Stone epic Alexander. Below is a snippet:
“I was the big, drunken, fat happy king. King Philip,” Kilmer revealed with a chuckle, “There’s a party for his wedding where I kiss four other women, and my wife, Queen Olympias (played by Jolie) isn’t even there, and then on page 5, he rapes her. He hasn’t been with her for a while, and they start fighting. I knock over her basket full of snakes, and the snakes are all over the floor. I then pull the sheets back when we’re on the bed, and my five-year-old son, young Alexander, is in the bed. I’m so horrified that I leave. All through the film, he thinks that Olympius is destroying his psyche, and she ends up doing that, which is kind of why he dies.”
