Napoleon: New Vignette Spotlights Vanessa Kirby as Empress Josephine

Sony and Apple Original Films have released a new behind-the-scenes vignette spotlighting Vanessa Kirby as Empress Josephine.

Yesterday, we got a new look at Apple and Sony's upcoming Napoleon from Ridley Scott. There were many things that looked awesome about the film, but we finally got to see some more of Vanessa Kirby as Josephine. We love a lady who knows what she wants and also knows when she has a man wrapped around her little finger, at least in some way. That was just a hint of the dynamic we'll see in that trailer, but Sony released a new behind-the-scenes vignette with Kirby teasing more about what we can expect from Josephine in this film.

The first of the two big Apple Original Film releases is coming out this weekend with Killers of the Flower Moon, but Sony and Apple also have their film next month with Napoleon. Of the two films, Napoleon probably has the chance of generating a wider audience because people seem to like when Ridley Scott does historical films [mostly because he absolutely rules at them]. This film doesn't look any different; it features an impressive cast and amazing-looking battle scenes. It was even shot in record time, according to Scott. The theatrical cut hits later next month, but a reported four-hour directors cut will stream to AppleTV+ at some point as well.
