“When I move, the world moves forward.” Apple has announced that a brand new official “Director’s Cut” version of Ridley Scott’s Napoleon is now available to watch on Apple TV+. Anyone planing to dive in? The original theatrical cut of Napoleon opened in theaters last year, right before Thanksgiving in November, playing in theaters worldwide before it ended up streaming. It earned mostly negative reviews and a lower-than-expected box office because it wasn’t that great. Napoleon is an original & personal look at Napoleon Bonaparte’s origins. Along with his swift and ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. As she says: “You want to be great. But you are nothing without me.” Joaquin Phoenix stars as Bonaparte, with Vanessa Kirby as Josephine, plus Ludivine Sagnier, Ben Miles, Tahar Rahim, Catherine Walker, Youssef Kerkour, Paul Rhys, and Matthew Needham. Ridley Scott’s Napoleon: The Director’s Cut features 48 minutes of new, never-before-seen footage from the Academy Award-nominated historical action epic. There’s a new trailer out (view it below) but luckily there’s no wait – this Director’s Cut is already available to enjoy now.
