Vanessa Kirby, Royal as Ever, Steals the Spotlight in ‘Napoleon’ Poster

Certainly! Here’s a paraphrased version of the text with some light humor sprinkled in to match your tone request:

THE WIDE SHOT

The movie-making giant Ridley Scott, who apparently never takes a break, is gearing up to grace us with yet another historical blockbuster, ‘Napoleon.’ It stars that guy who talked to himself in ‘Her,’ Joaquin Phoenix, and the ever-royal Vanessa Kirby, who’s probably getting used to wearing crowns by now.

Scheduled to charge into theaters like a well-timed cavalry on November 22, this film promises to zoom in on the fiery relationship between Napoleon and Empress Joséphine, played by Kirby.

Ridley Scott is mounting the director’s chair once more for his grand cinematic portrayal of the legendary French leader, Napoleon. With Phoenix at the helm as the iconic conqueror (no gladiator sandals this time), the film brings together the director and star for the first time since… well, you know, that film about Roman fighters.

But what’s a Napoleon without his Joséphine? That’s where Vanessa Kirby comes in. A fresh poster just hit the scene, and it showcases Kirby in all her regal glory. Oh, and it’s dropping on November 22, just in case you missed that bit earlier.

Now, while we’re all excited to see how Napoleon’s meteoric rise and fall plays out, the real treat might be the cinematic rendition of his love-hate relationship with his Empress. Sure, their real-life counterparts had their ups and downs, but in Hollywood, even conflict can be smooth. Just ask Kirby herself, who spoke about her dreamy teamwork with Phoenix, saying, “Going to dark places together? A total blast!”

In a fun twist of fate, Kirby fills the shoes once meant for Jodie Comer, who had to bow out due to those ever-annoying COVID-19 scheduling hiccups.

Vanessa’s no stranger to royal shoes, having worn them in ‘Mission: Impossible’ and ‘The Crown’ (well, not literally, but you get the point). The challenge this time, as she told Empire magazine, was figuring out Joséphine’s wildly contradictory character – but hey, that’s what makes acting fun, right?

During the same chinwag, Phoenix decided to wax philosophical about the pair’s intricate romance, leaving us all scratching our heads and pondering the definition of love. Deep stuff, Joaquin.

Who’s Pulling the Strings of Napoleon?

Initially called ‘Kitbag’ (catchy, right?), ‘Napoleon’ has assembled quite a team, including Ben Miles, Ludivine Sagnir, Matthew Needham, Tahar Rahim, Phil Cornwell, Edouard Philipponnat, and Youssef Kerkour. It’s also been slapped with an R-rating because of all the juicy stuff like violence, sensuality, and naughty words.

Directed by Scott, who’s no stranger to creating films that make history teachers cringe, the movie marks a reunion with Phoenix since their 2000 gladiator days.

So, mark your calendars for November 22 when ‘Napoleon’ storms into theaters. And while you’re at it, you might want to sneak a peek at that new poster and trailer below. It’s not required, but highly recommended.
