In between shots of lavishly produced battle scenes, the movie tracks the leader's rise to power and the hard choices he must make along the way.
What Kind of Ridley Scott Historical Epic Will Napoleon Be? Director Ridley Scott has proven his range at bringing many different genres to the screen. However, one genre that he has a tendency to return to time and again is the historical epic, whether it be historical fiction or stories more directly based on real people and events. He has already explored the form multiple times in movies such as Gladiator, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Kingdom of Heaven, and The Last Duel.
So far, Napoleon looks to be much closer to the top of Scott's range of historical epics than the bottom. With its lavish production values and the complicated character at the center of the mayhem, it could very well become a success both critically and commercially. This is good news for Scott, who is readying to helm the even buzzier historical epic Gladiator 2.
