Kennedy]], and ''Alexander'',<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346491/</ref> based loosely on the life of [[Alexander the Great]]. He also wrote the screenplay for the movie version of the [[Andrew Lloyd Weber]] [[musical]] ''[[Evita]]'' (directed by Alan Parker).<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116250/</ref> and adapted 1983 cult classic ''Scarface'' from the 1932 film of the same name.
