Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon Bonaparte covering his ears on the battlefield in Ridley Scott's Napoleon
The Big Picture One of the most divisive films of 2023 that still managed to earn three Oscar nominations almost looked a lot different. A new report from THR has revealed that Joaquin Phoenix was ready to back out of Napoleon unless director Ridley Scott agreed to let Paul Thomas Anderson rewrite parts of the script. This news comes in the wake of Phoenix departing Todd Haynes' gay romance drama, which also stars Danny Ramirez and was set to begin production this week.
Phoenix's reason for exiting the project remains unclear at this time, but it's said that he got cold feet. He previously worked with Anderson on The Master, the 2012 psychological drama which also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Jesse Plemons.
What Are the Highest Rated Joaquin Phoenix Movies? Close Joaquin Phoenix is a four-time Academy Award nominee and even won an Oscar for his performance in 2019's Joker. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the highest-rated Phoenix movie is Her, the 2013 AI drama romance film which also stars Amy Adams and Scarlett Johansson.
