CinemaCon is happening this week and while that usually means that those in attendance, and sometimes the rest of us, get a peek at some of the big movies to come in the next year, we usually have a pretty good idea of what sort of news we’re going to get before we get it. There usually aren’t a lot of surprises, outside of last year's Olivia Wilde drama that was not movie related, but when those surprises do happen, it can be quite exciting, and that’s the vibe coming from Ridley Scott’s Napoleon.
Joaquin Phoenix will star as the title character in the new film directed by Ridley Scott. The movie is being produced for Apple TV+, and perhaps because the movie was being set for a streaming platform, people were not expecting quite what they saw when the first footage debuted at CinemaCon, but the buzz coming off what was seen is quite significant. Our own Sean O’Connell was quite impressed.
