"Who's country are we in? Mine." Sony + Apple have revealed the second official trailer for Napoleon, the next epic Ridley Scott movie about the iconic French emperor. It's still set to open in November, and this is the second actual trailer since the first trailer in July (along with a few featurettes). I'm glad they're not delaying this - we need a big movie to bring us all to theaters again this fall. An Apple Studios production in conjunction with Scott Free Productions, Napoleon is an original & personal look at Napoleon Bonaparte's origins. Along with his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. As she says: "You want to be great. But you are nothing without me." Someone who dares challenge him! Joaquin Phoenix stars as Bonaparte, with Vanessa Kirby as Josephine, plus Ludivine Sagnier, Ben Miles, Tahar Rahim, Catherine Walker, Youssef Kerkour, Paul Rhys, Matthew Needham, & others. This looks like it will be worth the wait! And it should be an exciting big screen event - I definitely don't want to watch at home for my first viewing.

Here's the second official trailer (+ posters) for Ridley Scott's Napoleon, direct from Apple TV's YouTube:
