Ridley asserted, “I’m working on it. It was four (hours) 10 (minutes) this morning. And so what will happen is, we’ll screen (the theatrical cut) first with Sony, and then it has its run, and then the perfect thing is that (the director’s cut) goes to streaming, and we have four hours 10 minutes.”

With Napoleon, Scott has reunited with Gladiator star Joaquin Phoenix once again explaining that the actor’s Oscar-winning performance in Joker persuaded him to cast him as the controversial military leader.

He said of the 2019 film, “I’m staring at Joaquin and saying, ‘This little demon is Napoleon Bonaparte’. He looks like him. With ‘Napoleon, I think we dug in and found the character, or as close to what he may have been. Joaquin is probably the most special, thoughtful actor I’ve ever worked with.”

Sony Pictures Entertainment India releases Napoleon on 24th November, 2023.
