I am beginning a new edit of Oliver Stone’s Alexander. The goal is to cut the film down to about 2 hrs. in length, give or take. I feel the biggest problem with the film is its lack of focus on the main character, too much time is spent on his mother and father. My cut of the film will shift the focus to Alexander. Also, I will make the film be in chronological order, without all of the confusing flashbacks and flash forwards. If at all possible, I’d like to remove Anthony Hopkins’ narration and his bookend scenes in the film. The film will be more of a rousing action epic, less of Oliver Stone indulging himself.

Anybody have any suggestions as to what might work in this edit?
