"Ridley Scott will team with Joaquin Phoenix for Kitbag, with the Oscar-winning Joker star to play French military leader and emperor Napoleon. Pic is set at 20th Century Studios, where Scott Free has its deal. This comes as Scott today wraps production on The Last Duel in Ireland for 20th. Scott has screenwriter David Scarpa –, who wrote the Scott-directed All the Money in the World — working on a script for the Napoleon epic. The film will be produced by Scott and Kevin Walsh for Scott Free.

The film's title is derived from the saying "There is a general's staff hidden in every soldier's kitbag. The film is an original and personal look at Napoleon's origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. The intention of the film is to capture Napoleon's famous battles, relentless ambition and astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader and war visionary."

Kubrick couldn't do it but he wasn't Nexus like Ridley is.



All the Money in the World based on a true story
The Last Duel based on a true story
Gucci based on a true story
Kitbag based on a true story

GUCCI filming in March for a release in Late 2021. NAPOLEON is 2022.

I think Rooney Mara(the wife of Joaquin Phoenix) could be Josephine

kwisatz

A World without Ridley.

Kitbag is an awful title.

"Napoleon" by Ridley Scott. Simple, efficient, logical and better.

I would love to see Crowe in it.

Am I the only one who is more excited about Joaquin Phoenix being involved than Ridley directing ?

Ingwar

For me it's both: Ridley and Joaquin.

"Pack up your troubles in your old kitbag: And smile, smile, smile... " ;D

But yeah, "Napoleon" or simply "Bonaparte" does sound better. He'll probably change the title if he ever gets around to filming this.

Master and Commander? That was also set during the Napoleonic wars.

I must say, Joaquin Phoenix does look suitably Napoleonic in Gladiator but isn't he a bit old for the role now?

Crowe's picture is from Les Misérables (2012).
