Joaquin Phoenix to star as Napoleon Bonaparte

Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix has been selected to star as the French military leader and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

The media have announced that Ridley Scott’s coming flick is to enjoy ‘Joker’ star as the main character, Napoleon.

This is the latest cooperation between the two cinema legends, Phoenix and Scott after the blockbuster ‘Gladiator’.

The period drama’s title ‘Kitbag’ comes from the saying: “There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.”

“‘Kitbag’ 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 media wrote.

Born in 1974, Joaquin Rafael Phoenix is an American actor, environmentalist, animal rights activist, and producer.

He has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, and two Golden Globe Awards.
