The makers of the upcoming film Napoleon starring Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix as the eponymous French emperor, unveiled on Monday. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film marks Phoenix's second collaboration with Scott after the much-acclaimed 2000 film Gladiator. Vanessa Kirby essays the role of Josephine, the emperor's wife.
The film's official logline reads: Napoleon is an original and personal look at Napoleon's origins and his swift, ruthless climb to the emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. The film captures Napoleon's famous battles, relentless ambition, and astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader and war visionary.

Napoleon also stars Tahar Rahim, Mark Bonnar, Rupert Everett, and Youssef Kerkour. Penned by David Scarpa, the film is backed by Apple TV in association with Sony Pictures Entertainment. The film is all set to hit the theatres on November 22.
