After a series of rumors and teaser, legendary director Ridley Scott’s next movie, a biopic of Napoleon Bonaparte (the second-most controversial Frenchman) has been released.
Joaquin Phoenix in the title role is a no-brainer. He certainly has the acting chops, even if the complete lack of even the faintest hint of an accent is a little perplexing.
Given Scott’s track record, though, it’s hard to imagine this won’t end up being a historical epic discussed in the same breath as Oppenheimer for years to come.
