Napoleon is a recent feature film directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner) which obviously focuses on the story of the famous French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most important figures in contemporary European history. To embody the famous politician, within the film, is Joaquin Phoenix (Beau is afraid, Joker) who returns to work with Joaquin Phoenix after Gladiator (2000), where he embodied the role of Emperor Commodus, son of Marcus Aurelius. We've already had the opportunity to see the first trailer of the making up close, arriving in theaters around the world in the coming months, and the first official photos of the film are also slowly emerging.
Napoleon is arriving in November 2023 in cinemas
In the last few hours, thanks to Empire (via Collider), we had the opportunity to see a new photo of Napoleon which shows in particular the intimate relationship and alchemy between the protagonist and his wife Josephine de Beauharnais (who has the face of Vanessa Kirby). Among other things, a very in-depth study of the psychology of the characters is evident in the shot, hiding, in particular, a mysterious and cryptic element in their relationship, which will probably be one of the key passages of the feature film. Among other things, on this occasion, we remind you that the project should arrive in cinemas on November 23, 2023, the day after the American release.

Napoleon, in particular, sees the screenplay by David Scarpa (who is also working on the screenplay of Gladiator 2, also signed by Scott) with the production of Apple Studios, Latina Pictures, and Scott Free Productions. The cast, however, also sees the participation of Tahar Rahim in the part of Paul Barras, Ben Miles who plays Armand Augustin Louis de Caulaincourt, Paul Rhys who lends the features of Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, and many others.
