Announcing a new series on Alexander the Great

Let’s brace ourselves for yet another TV series about Alexander the Great as announced by the Greek City Times.

Starlings Entertainment* plans to present such a series that will be filmed in Greece. Nothing wrong with that except that their intention is to follow the great conqueror to depict his life as “one of the most powerful and influential leaders of the ancient world”.

Besides concentrating on Alexander himself, the series will also explore the spread of “Greek culture” during his short reign.

How they will manage to do so while shooting the series in Greece only seems a little short-sighted in my opinion. I am very skeptical about this entire project but let’s wait and see what they will make of it.

* Starlings Entertainment is a collection of interconnected companies that focus on developing, financing and producing smartly budgeted, highly commercial live action and animated films and television programs along with other media. Projects are developed in house as well as sourced from an expansive network of affiliates and longstanding producer relationships.
