According to the production company, they want to make sure that they get the appropriate Academy Award nominations -- i.e., best director, best picture and best actor (for Farrell.) That probably says a lot about how good this movie likely is -- a much larger epic than that of Troy. I certainly hope it lives up to the hype.
The unofficial word, btw, is that they did not want to open opposite The Incredibles, which is the new move from Disnay/Pixar.

We are nearing completion of our game, Tin Soldier: Alexander the Great. It should make for a great companion to the movie since we follow all the major battles of Alexander -- and even provide over 10 minutes of History Channel like cut-scenes scattered throughout the game.
