Ridley Scott’s Napoleon an historic tale in the making

KISS | June 28, 2023

Ridley Scott’s Napoleon movie is shaping up to be a must-see for history buffs and fans of epic historical dramas alike.

The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon Bonaparte, is scheduled to be released in November 2023. It is directed by Scott, who is no stranger to making big-budget historical epics. His previous films include Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, and Exodus: Gods and Kings.

The film is said to be a “personal look” at Napoleon’s life, focusing on his rise to power and his relationship with his wife, Josephine. It is also said to be a “warts and all” portrayal of Napoleon, showing both his strengths and his weaknesses.

Phoenix is said to be giving a “tour-de-force” performance as Napoleon, and the supporting cast is also stacked with talent. Vanessa Kirby, Tahar Rahim, and Joel Edgerton are all set to appear in the film.

The film is still in production, but it is already generating a lot of buzz. If Scott can pull it off, his Napoleon movie could be one of the best historical dramas of the year.

Here are some things to look forward to in the film:

  • Joaquin Phoenix’s performance as Napoleon
  • The supporting cast
  • Scott’s direction
  • The epic scope of the film
  • The historical accuracy

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this film when it comes out. It has the potential to be one of the best historical dramas of the year.
