Alexander star Colin Farrell reportedly wants to produce and star in a remake of classic Richard Burton movie The Robe.

Farrell would take the role of Marcellus Gallio, a Roman tribune involved in Jesus' crucifixion, where he acquires his bloody robe.

Sky News quotes the actor as saying: "It's one of my favourite films...and done right they can be great entertainment and appeal to all the right audiences. Besides, I have great legs for a toga."
