Also from World of Reel:

QuoteIt's 150 minutes. Covers the sweep of Napoleon's life from his promotion around the time of the revolution, to the end. I think it's bigger, better and MORE PSYCHOLOGICAL than Scott's epics like Kingdom of Heaven and Gladiator. Also more political.

I can see ropes :)

I love David but damn! If only Joaquin Phoenix had starred in Prometheus 😅

"Joaquin is about as far from conventional as you can get. Not deliberately, but out of intuition. That's what makes him tick. If something bothers him, he'll let you know. He made [Napoleon] special by constantly questioning. With Joaquin, we can rewrite the goddamn film because he's uncomfortable. And that kind of happened with Napoleon. We unpicked the film to help him focus on who Bonaparte was. I had to respect that, because what was being said was incredibly constructive. It made it all grow bigger and better."

Joaquin Phoenix as a psychotic android ? Yes, please, gimme, gimme, gimme !

Napoleon is now listed on Apple TV+, but still no release date:


Nightmare Asylum

Crossing my fingers and hoping it shows theatrically before it plays on the service...

Also, with a page up on there now, hoping that means that a trailer might be soon.

The second test screening for this was held on Thursday night.

Although the reaction to the first test screening had words like "masterpiece" bandied about, the second one seems a lot less enthusiastic:

So is Riddles going to blame these reactions on phones?

I wouldn't take those reviews too seriously. At the end it's someone else's opinion.

Wait it's an apple film. So will never get to watch unless I visit the cinema (unlikely) or I pick a subscription for the streaming service (never)
