Stone: Farrell's a 'real man'
A crucial scene from Alexander was destroyed when director Oliver Stone carried the tape through an x-ray machine at airport customs.
Stone was forced to call on star Colin Farrell to reshoot the pivotal fight sequence in the historical epic - even though the Irish hunk was nursing a broken ankle.
But Farrell's willingness to work through the pain left Stone in awe of the actor's bravery.
The film-maker explains: "The worst catastrophe that happened to us was at the end of filming when we lost six miles of film.
"It was destroyed by an x-ray machine at an airport when we were going through customs. The tape represented around two and a half hours of filmed scenes. We had to reshoot a whole day of filming to recuperate a major battle scene.
"Colin was very brave attempting to film with a broken ankle. There is a re al man."
