Joaquin Phoenix's 'Napoleon' Leads the Charge in New Image
The Big Picture One of the buzziest films of the year is undoubtedly Apple Studios' Napoleon, which will tell the life of the famed French general and emperor. Ahead of the film's slated November release, Empire has unveiled a new look at Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role.
Napoleon is directed by Ridley Scott, who told Empire of the general, "I compare him with Alexander The Great. Adolf Hitler. Stalin. Listen, he’s got a lot of bad s**t under his belt. At the same time, he was remarkable with his courage, and in his can-do and in his dominance. He was extraordinary." Phoenix had a similar mantra, telling Empire he wanted to subvert the heroic expectations of the character. "That’s definitely something we wanted to avoid," Phoenix said.
Napoleon Is Hotly Anticipated While the image may be ambiguous, one thing that is not is the buzz over Napoleon. The film is already generating Oscar talk, especially after the recent release of its first trailer, which showed the wide scale and epic battles that Scott's project will display. The film's ensemble cast is also likely to help create more fervor.
