Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott's Napoleon Bonaparte film has released its first image as its release date is confirmed.
The film, titled Napoleon, is being released by Apple TV+ and Sony Pictures Releasing — which means it's getting both a streaming and a theatrical launch. Napoleon will debut in cinemas on November 22 before hitting Apple TV+ at a later (but yet unspecified) date.
Befitting a film telling the story of one of history's best-known military commanders, the first-released image of Napoleon shows men riding horseback into battle.
Napoleon will chronicle how Bonaparte (played by Phoenix) rose to power in France at the end of the 1700s and also show his volatile relationship with Empress Joséphine. She's being played by The Crown's Vaness Kirby, who stepped in after Killing Eve's Jodie Comer had to drop out due to scheduling issues. napoleon dynamite helicopter shirt
The film isn't just a reunion for Phoenix and Scott after Gladiator but also for the director and David Scarpa, who wrote the script for Scott's 2017 film All the Money in the World.
