It is not the first time that the writer is part of a Ridley Scott project, since both worked together on all the money in the worlda comedy released in 2017. Judging by the first images about Napoleonthis tape is in a completely different registry.
Much of what can be seen in the trailer for Napoleon revolves around the figure of Joaquin Phoenix, who embodies the former French soldier, and who some time ago was critically acclaimed due to his work in joker. Prior to this, his and Ridley Scoot’s working relationship began more than 20 years ago, when they worked together on Gladiator. In that 2000 “Best Picture” award-winning feature film, Phoenix played the Roman emperor Commodus.

This advance suggests that the production will be marked by an epic tone, at the same time that it is combined with political tensions and particular dramas of some of the main characters. The film addresses the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte through the ranks of power, as well as his relationship with his wife, Empress Josephine, played by Vanessa Kirby.
The marriage relationship between the two lasted between 1796 and 1810. The trailer for Napoleon It details a moment in which, apparently, both figures meet and then, over time, build their bond. Meanwhile, the protagonist leads multiple combats in different parts of the world. It must be remembered that Napoleon Bonaparte was a soldier and later became Emperor of France in 1804. He achieved this after supporting the abolition of the monarchy during the French Revolution.
He is one of the most important figures in universal history. He was born August 15, 1769, Ajaccio, France. His military career began when he joined, as a low-ranking officer, the French Revolution. Due to his intellect and decision-making when preparing for confrontations, he worked his way up the military ladder. Napoleon fought in wars in countries like France, Italy, Austria, and Egypt. He died on May 5, 1821.
Apart from the first trailer, the official poster of the film was also shared.
