We haven’t gotten many big studio takes on Napoleon Bonaparte’s outrageous life, which is why I’m excited to see what Scott will deliver here. What we do know about Scott’s epic is that it will be a personal and epic look at the life of Napoleon. We should also not mix up Scott’s “Napoleon” with Cary Fukunaga’s HBO miniseries … “Napoleon.” Fukunaga’s 6-episode venture is based off of Stanley Kubrick’s legendary unfilmed 1970’s screenplay which was going to star Jack Nicholson as the titular antihero.  As mentioned, Scott’s film stars Phoenix as Napoleon and also Vanessa Kirby as his wife, Josephine aka “Kitbag.” The film is based on a screenplay by David Scarpa, who teamed up with with Scott in 2017 on the more-than-decent “All the Money in the World.” See the first photo of Phoenix as Napoleon below: Contribute Hire me
