Throughout his career, Ridley Scott has directed epic historical dramas like Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, and most recently, The Last Duel. And by the end of the year, the legendary filmmaker will add yet another movie to that list with Napoleon, the highly anticipated biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix as the notorious French general and emperor.
The movie, which was once titled Kitbag, is something that has been long in the works by the Gladiator collaborators, and will be in theaters in the very near future. But while we wait for the eventual release of a movie that will surely be something you can’t miss on the big screen, now’s a good time to take a look at everything we know about Napoleon, including its release date, cast, and details on its story, scope, and scale.
