Oliver Stone finds it hard to let go.

 

And though many critics, especially those who can't stomach Stone's frequently bombastic polemics, will sigh a collective "Oh Brother," the persisent director isn't giving up. No, I'm not talking his newest film, "World Trade Center," I'm talking his critically panned "Alexander." 

 

The filmmaker told BBC One's Breakfast that the film "has haunted" him and he's set to release the version he intended--the three hour and 40 minute cut:

 

"By truncating it into three hours, we lost things that were important. This version allows you to immerse yourself in the classical world."

 

I hope we immerse ourselves. We sure don't want to suffer a sore ass just to watch a bunch of nutty actors chew the scenery.  --posted by Kim
