Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most famous characters in history, a storied and feared military general, so respected he rose to become emperor of France.
Ridley Scott has an epic new film coming out this fall, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon, and it looks exciting, portraying the leader in huge battles, which sound like they were filmed practically.
The film is set to release this fall. Check out the trailer below.

Let’s hope they do this crazy character in history justice!
Napolean is a hard character to nail. The man is almost a myth. The action scenes I am sure are great—-Hollywood knows how to blow things up. Phoenix is a great actor, we’ll see how he does or does he meet his Waterloo. (You knew that was coming)
