Farrell suffers fall

The hard-partying Colin Farrell almost faced the wrath of film-maker Oliver Stone after breaking his ankle and his wrist with three days of Alexander still to shoot, reports IMDB.com.

The Irish actor fell down a stairway after living it up at a party co-star Val Kilmer threw for the cast and crew in Thailand.

Stone admits he came close to ruining the film's ending. "Colin came very close," said Stone. "He gambled. We made it. We got some fill-in shots."

Despite the drunken mishap, the Irishman was a delight to work with, Stone said. "Colin's got something ancient in him and I'm really happy with what he's doing."
