The story of Alexander the great (at least in two movies) told step by step and on a 360° view. Alexander was only 20 when inherited the throne of Macedon. Two years later he started a campaign against the mighty Persian Empire, conquering it in less than 10 years, without a single defeat in battle. He died in mysterious circumstances at the age of 32 in Babylon. Probably the best option is to divide the film in three chapters: one about his childhood and the relationship with his parents, one about the events leading to Gaugamela, one about the campaigns in the eastern part of the empire until his death.read more

Description of Cassander:

Cassander was the son of the great general Antipater, regent in Macedon during Alexander's campaigns. Although he had the same age of the king and many of his generals, he didn't took part to the expedition. He was sent by his father to Babylon in 323 BC slightly before the death of the king. After his father's death he didn't inherited his position, and so he clashed with Poliperchon, an old general trusted by his father. He also worked to cancel the Argead dynasty, killing in order: Olympias, Roxane, Alexander IV and Heracles son of Barsine. He eventually became king of Macedon in 305 and retained the position until 297, when he died.
