Ridley Scott's 'Napoleon' - What to Expect

Quick Links After delivering two films back-to-back in 2021 with The Last Duel and House of Gucci, Ridley Scott has another film on the horizon that is set to the big screen later this year, one that'll unite him with a familiar face. That movie is Napoleon which will be Scott's first collaboration with Apple Studios and is a historical action epic that will center around, you guessed it, French conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte.

We've also had a steady stream of promotional images and posters from Napoleon. Here's the one of the posters, showing Joséphine in full regalia, as well as the latest images released for the film: Academy Award Nominee Vanessa Kirby is playing the role of Empress Joséphine, the wife of Napoleon. Scott's The Last Duel star, Jodie Comer, was initially cast in the role but had to depart the film due to scheduling conflicts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

What Is the Plot of 'Napoleon'? Napoleon will chronicle the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte through his rocky relationship with Empress Joséphine. The official plot synopsis for Napoleon via Apple Studios reads: While talking with Entertainment Weekly, Scott talked about the challenges of filming the historical epic.

"By having 11 to 14 cameras, we shot Napoleon in 62 days. I’m doing Gladiator 2 now in 54 days, because I’m not doing 50 takes with one camera, on one shot, and then turning around. This normal fight that could take anything up to a month, I’ll take six days."
