Napolean is a 2023 biographical action drama directed by Ridley Scott, from a screenplay by David Scarpa. Scott recently directed the severely underrated epic period film The Last Duel (our full review here), and has a ridiculous resume including films like Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, and The Martian, just to name a few. The film is produced by Scott, Kevin J. Walsh, Mark Huffam, and Joaquin Phoenix.
A spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Oscar®-winner Joaquin Phoenix. Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte's relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed.
The cast includes Joaquin Phoenix, Vanessa Kirby, Jodie Comer, Youssef Kerkour, Edouard Philipponnat, and Matthew Needham.
Napolean is set to debut in theaters on November 22nd, courtesy of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Watch the final trailer below.
