Finally something that might bring me to the theater. This looks IMAX worthy. Napoleon being as Hegel called him "the soul of the world“ not some broken man like what Kathleen Kennedy did to Indiana Jones. I believe the trailer showed Waterloo with British squares and Austerlitz with Napoleon unleashing hell on the Russia and Austrian soldiers trapped on an ice covered lake.

But Napoleon will be played by a black transman named Keosha.

According to the Wikipedia page the movie will feature 6 major battle scenes. The run time is 158 minutes,

Napoleon didn’t come from nothing. His family was of minor Corsican and Genoese nobility.

I had a laugh considering what has been happening in France, one of the opening scenes is Napoleon dealing with the Royalist mob with a “whiff of grapeshot”.

I've been waiting for the sequel...

From the trailer it looks good.

While I expect that the historical accuracy of the film will be lacking, I will very likely go to a theater for the first time since the movie Midway to see Napoleon. I saw the latest Top Gun movie on streaming video and Greyhound on Apple TV and was heartened that good movies free from wokeism are still being made. It is likely that Napoleon will be a box office hit.

I will go see it too. A minor quibble - if the scene in the trailer is Napoleon meeting Josephine, Napoleon was 26 and Josephine was 32. Joaquin’s too old. But it looks like it is a good movie.

Saw this version in Sacramento in the 1980s. Silent , sepia screens and tri-split screen during battles. Over 4 hours. ling enough intermission to allow us to leave the theatre and have dinner. Interesting especially for the year.
