Ridley Scott’s vision of Napoleon is getting grander with each reveal. From massive sets, outdoor locations, and production design to its leading pair of compelling performers is intriguing the audiences to take a peek into the monarch’s life. Starring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular character along with Vanessa Kirby as Empress Josephine, the feature aims to bring the iconic character to life in a humane way.
To give more insight into his relationship with his better half, the makers have unveiled a new featurette. “Josaphine’s story is mind-blowing really. You first meet her after she’s been released from prison,” tells Kirby.
Speaking further about their “interesting dynamic,” she reveals the on-screen unfolding is “an insight about how they were deeply attached to each other.” As for playing the historical figure in her raw, humane version, the actor found “compassion” for her “because it was a brutal time and he was brutal to be with.” Kirby dubs Josaphine an “incredible force of nature,” whose ties with Napoleon guided and influenced much of his path that fans never knew.
