Another trailer has dropped for Ridley Scott‘s latest epic film, Napoleon, and it looks pretty awesome! The movie stars Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix as French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte himself.
This is the second time Scott and Phoenix have partnered up for a big movie. The first time they worked together was in Gladiator…which earned Phoenix an Academy Award nomination.

Ridley Scott is, in my humble opinion, one of the most underrated legendary directors that we have. He’s not talked about in the same way that we discuss Martin Scorcese or Steven Spielberg…but he should be. Scott directed the original, ground-breaking, Alien movie starring Sigourney Weaver…and he made one of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time in Bladerunner starring Harrison Ford. It is a masterpiece of film noir and futuristic movie-making.

Scott has also had great success at the box office and with critics with pictures like Thelma & Louise, The Martian, American Gangster, Black Hawk Down, and the aforementioned Gladiator. As for this movie…I can’t wait! Napoleon comes to movie theaters on Thanksgiving Day of this year! Check out the trailer(s) below!
