They even got what looks to be the grenadier or chasseur winter uniforms of the old guard right. Impressive.

All over this. Joaquin Phoenix is an odd choice. Was Peter Dinklage not available? Herve Villechaize would've been ideal but RIP, Tatu.

Looks great.

Phoenix is a great actor but I don't see him as great in this role.

I would go see a Napoleon movie with Danny DeVito in the title role.

Napoleon was short, but not a dwarf. He was ~5'6"; Phoenix is 5'8".

When you surround yourself with Grognards wearing Bearskins most normal sized men would look short.

LOL.

As with others, I look forward to seeing this, probably in a theater, which would be my first this year.

I know very little about Napoleon historically outside of the page about him in my world history textbook in school - but that looks awesome

He wasn't short, but he was a Ziggy Piggy.

From the trailer it looks as if he decided not to reprise that atrocious British accent he attempted in Gladiator. Thank goodness! That was so bad.

Trailer looks great!

A couple people on youtube claiming to have screened the movie describe Napoleon being portrayed as "insane".

Kind of doubting the movie will be as good as we want it to be.

Phoenix's height is fine, but his age is not.

He is only 3 years younger than Napoleon was at the time of his death, and way too old to credibly play Napoleon as a young man.
