Moviegoers aren’t prepared for Joaquin Phoenix’s turn as Napoleon’s infamous French ruler.In an exclusive featurette, Napoleon actor Vanessa Kirby and director Ridley Scott hyped up the lead actor’s “passion” as Napoleon Bonaparte in between scenes of Bonaparte leading military victories and claiming himself Emperor of the French. According to Kirby, “Scenes with him just felt really authentic. He was unbelievable at capturing the idiosyncratic, psychological portrait of this unpredictable personality.” Likewise, Scott confessed that “When you are doing a film with Joaquin, he comes alive. He’s evolving into Napoleon Bonaparte,” before later confidently asserting, “He’s one of the best.”Though Phoenix was interested in working with Scott again post-Gladiator, the director became convinced that he should play Napoleon Bonaparte after seeing Phoenix’s Oscar-winning Joker performance. As Scott recalled, Phoenix took a while to determine how he should approach such a historical figure until two weeks before filming began, with actor and filmmakter spending ten days looking through the script and fine-tuning his characterization. Alongside the performances, Scott praised the quality of Napoleon’s visuals and costume design, stating, “My team does marvelous military costumes like I’ve never seen before. The costumes are mind-blowing, and then I have a military expert for cause-and-effect battle sequences. That’s all coordinated. I plan it, in a funny kind of way, a little bit like a battle.”RELATED: Ridley Scott Confirms Napoleon Already Has a Massive 4.5-Hour Directors Cut
