[Film] Joaquin Phoenix to play Napoleon

[Lenny Rider]

In Ridley Scott's biopic of the French Emperor, 'Kitbag', the title coming from Bonaparte's quote "There's a General's staff in every soldier's kitbag"

After the Joker Phoenix arguably has to be one of the best actors at the moment, lets hope the cinema's are all up and running by the time its released?

That's unusual, they normally have English actors playing the bad guys.

Oh don't worry on this occasion we are portrayed as the bad guys and no doubt English actors will be playing the parts of the Germans, the Americans will play the parts of the Russians and Liam Neeson will play all the French soldiers using special effects.
Napoleon was a misunderstood hard done by great leader and was terribly treated by the British.

Which in fairness has an element of truth to it.

Great, I can't wait for the movies about Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.

Mention Hitler to a Bavarian and they will more than likely respond ‘****ing Austrians’

I've heard he'll have a stunt double for the realistic sex scenes in this film.

He's willing to do some nudity, but not the boner part.

 

[The Wizard]

The film scene is about to be napoleon blown-apart

Got to be Russell Crowe as Nelson, firing his cannons at the French and Spanish fleet while bellowing: “Are you not entertained?” in their direction.

Duncan Norvelle or Idris Elba to play Sir Thomas Hardy...or just Tom Hardy playing Tom Hardy.

Isn’t it usually the Australians (Mel Gibson, Crowe, Ledger) who play the good guys and didn’t Phoenix (American) play the bad guy in Gladiator? Or am I thinking way too narrowly about specific Ridley Scott type movies?

 

[Goldstone1976]

Joaquin Phoenix to play Napoleon?

I reckon 18-15.

He played Commodus for Ridley Scott in The Gladiator.

Am I the only one who can't stand Joaquin Phoenix (and thinks the Joker was shite, mostly because of his "acting")?

Probably.

The problem is you’re going to be watching it thinking: “That’s not Napoleon, just an actor pretending to be him,” which ruins it to a large extent, depending, I guess, on how much you’re willing to suspend disbelief obviously.

Personally I’d stick with John Malkovich’s dreadful Russian accent in the classic poker film Rounders: “Payyy Heeeeeem the muuunnny, payyyy dat man heees muunnnnyyy”

Doubt if he will be able to match this performance...

I thought the joker was shit but I think Joaquin is a very great actor in the right part. Napoleon could be great for him with Ridley Scott. We will get his weirdness but not too much of it considering how Ridley likes to do movies. He’ll be channeled down appropriately for me.
