New Napoleon Trailer Spotlights The Title Character's Bloody Rise

The second trailer for the Ridley Scott's Napoleon dropped today. The film will be released in theaters on November 22nd.

This awards season, a decent portion of the eyes will be focused on Apple Original Films as they have two big movies with a good chance of taking home some Oscar gold. It's still a bit too early to tell how likely any of that is, but we are seeing more about the film that is dropping next month. Sony Pictures and Apple dropped the second trailer for Napoleon today, featuring a lot of Vanessa Kirby. She could frankly tell me to do anything, and I would do it while on my knees, and that seems to be her entire character in this film as well, so wins all around.

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 there will be a reported four-hour directors cut that will stream to AppleTV+ at some point as well.
