The long-promised director's cut of Ridley Scott's historical epic Napoleon has apparently been confirmed. Starring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular French emperor, the film was released in November 2023 to a mixed critical reception. The film sits at an underwhelming 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score that's just slightly better at 59%. Despite being projected to break Scott's record for an opening weekend, the film earned around $221 million from its entire theatrical run, set against an estimated budget of $200 million.
