Sony Pictures have released a brand new Vignette for Ridley Scott’s upcoming historical epic that’ll tell the complex story of Napoleon Bonaparte. This new Vignette gives audiences a closer look at Joaquin Phoenix’s interpretation of Napoleon, detailing how he got into the mindset of the complicated Emperor, and how his fellow castmates responded to this transformation. With brand new footage and a look behind the scenes, this Vignette gives us our best look yet.
Napoleon is set to be released in cinemas on November 22nd. It will then drop onto Apple TV+ once its theatrical release has run its course. While that’s great for watchers at home, a film like this should really be enjoyed on the big screen.
With a script penned by writer David Scarpa, who also wrote the screenplay for Ridley’s Gladiator 2, Napoleon will take audiences into the past and directly into the centre of Napoleon’s world. Surrounded by war, an unquenchable thirst for power, and his great love, Napoleon will be a multi-faceted spectacle that will explore the rise and fall of France’s most ruthless general.
