Filmmaker Ridley Scott’s new war-time epic “Napoleon” won’t hit cinemas until November, but it turns out he’s already making plans for a director’s cut of the film, notes Dark Horizons. And the theatrical film will stream on Apple TV+.
Speaking to Empire Magazine (via World of Reel), Scott revealed the film’s theatrical cut still clocks in at 157 minutes. However, he says he also has a “fantastic” near four-and-a-half-hour cut of the film.
Apple TV+ has posted a trailer for the film. The movie will first be released exclusively in theaters worldwide, in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, on Wednesday, November 22, before streaming globally on Apple TV+.
About ‘Napoleon’
Here’s how the movie is described: Directed by Scott from a screenplay by David Scarpa, “Napoleon” stars Joaquin Phoenix as the French emperor and military leader. The film is an original and personal look at Napoleon’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine, played by Vanessa Kirby. The film captures Napoleon’s famous battles, relentless ambition and astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader and war visionary. An Apple Studios production in conjunction with Scott Free Productions, “Napoleon” is produced by Scott, Kevin Walsh, Mark Huffam and Phoenix, with Michael Pruss and Aidan Elliott serving as executive producers.
