Napoleon, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix in Ridley Scott’s upcoming epic, stands apart from ordinary men. In the latest trailer for the film, he is described as a genius warrior, emperor, general, rebel, and tyrant—an individual who considers himself unique. This historical drama is set to hit theaters on November 22 and promises a grand portrayal of Napoleon’s life.

The film, titled “Napoleon,” is described by Sony Pictures Entertainment as a “spectacle-filled action epic” that delves into the tumultuous ascent and fall of the iconic French emperor. With Ridley Scott at the helm, the movie promises to showcase Bonaparte’s relentless quest for power and his complex relationship with his true love, Josephine. It features visionary military and political strategies and dynamic battle sequences that are nothing short of impressive.

In the spirit of the “Long Film Fall,” “Napoleon” boasts a runtime of two hours and 38 minutes, making it a substantial cinematic experience. It aligns with Apple TV+’s “Killers Of The Flower Moon,” which is notably longer at three and a half hours. Ridley Scott has expressed his hope that Apple will eventually screen his director’s cut, which extends to a staggering four hours and provides additional insights into Josephine’s life before her involvement with Napoleon.
