The extended cut would feature more of Vanessa Kirby's Joséphine.
The Big Picture Ridley Scott's latest historical epic Napoleon, which stars Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role alongside Vanessa Kirby, already looks like a surefire awards contender. The film, which is almost three hours long, covers a lot of Napoleon's life and legacy, but Scott has now revealed that there's a lot more of the story to tell.
'Napoleon’ is almost three hours long, although Scott has a “fantastic” near four-and-a-half-hour cut, which features more of Joséphine’s life before she meets Napoleon. He’d love Apple to eventually screen it. But what they have now is hardly slight. “It’s an astonishing story,” Phoenix says of Napoleon’s life. “Hopefully we captured some of the most interesting moments.”
We don't know for sure if Apple or Sony Pictures will go along with Scott's idea to release an extended version of Napoleon. But it doesn't seem like too big of a request, and it might encourage people to watch the movie again just out of curiosity. After Napoleon, Scott is going back to his love for making Roman epic films.
