THE BIGGER SCENE
Renowned filmmaker Ridley Scott joins forces with Joaquin Phoenix to create a monumental historical drama centered on Napoleon Bonaparte. In this film, Phoenix is set to depict the renowned French ruler.
The plot will underline Napoleon’s ascent to dominance and delve into his relationship with Empress Joséphine, portrayed by actress Vanessa Kirby.
Although Napoleon’s tale has been adapted before, Hollywood remains intrigued by his story, with Steven Spielberg even working on a miniseries about the iconic leader. The Phoenix-starred movie is slated for a November 22 release.
Once again, Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix are collaborating for a major cinematic historical tale, unveiling Napoleon this year. Coinciding with the famed historical leader’s birthday, an exclusive image from the production has been made public via Twitter, offering a glimpse of the French Emperor engaged in his quest to subdue Europe. This visual illustrates Phoenix as the legendary leader, seen on horseback, brandishing a sword, and poised for battle as part of his relentless ambition to overcome the entire European continent. Though the Oscar-winning actor is older than the actual Napoleon at the height of his influence, his compelling on-screen authority is expected to enthrall moviegoers when this new Scott-directed blockbuster hits theaters this Thanksgiving.
Further information about the highly-anticipated historical drama is still kept secret. Nevertheless, clues from the official trailer suggest that Napoleon will concentrate on the figure’s journey to supremacy, alongside his romantic connection with Empress Joséphine, enacted by Vanessa Kirby. The film’s emphasis on this often-neglected aspect of Napoleon’s life, as contrasted with his broader military pursuits, promises an engaging cinematic perspective.

Napoleon Bonaparte’s existence continues to mesmerize and be a significant historical subject, inspiring numerous film versions over the decades, including Abel Gance’s sweeping silent epic in 1927 and 1970’s Waterloo. Now, with Scott’s impending movie, Napoleon’s comprehensive life story is set to grace the silver screen, though his narrative will continue to unfold, as Steven Spielberg is set to adapt Stanley Kubrick’s once-shelved script into a grand seven-part miniseries on HBO. Until then, theater-goers can look forward to a comprehensive portrayal of his meteoric rise when Napoleon makes its grand entry into cinemas this autumn.
Napoleon is set to premiere exclusively in theaters on November 22. See the official snapshot from the forthcoming historical masterpiece below.
