Napoleon | Sony/Apple | November 22, 2023 | Joaquin Phoenix is Napoleon | Ridley Scott

Just saw the Cinemascore. B- isn't good. Seems like this could haven been an easy win for Scott after something like Gladiator.

So there's no 4 hour cut release? Sir Ridley lied again? Who would've guessed!

It's not happening.

BOOOOO APPLE BOOOOOOOOOO 

I liked the theatrical cut and I suspect pretty much all the positive reviews were with the added caveat of...well I'm sure my big issues will be solved with better pacing and runtime length.

Why is Apple so against releasing the four hour cut? They’re a streaming service! They can afford to release an alternate cut of a movie from a well known director.

Probably because it didn't do well no matter what they claim officially. That 4 hour cut most likely requires extra VFX work they are not willing to fund.

I liked the film but he was on Joker lite mode the entire run time!

Cox giving zero fucks in interviews continues to be great.

Still waiting for the 4-hour director's cut I was promised

Which was a mistake for Napoleon. You never felt  the guy on the screen was one of the greatest Military geniuses who ever lived, which you should have got.

So am I but I am not holding my breath.

Really curios to see what battles ended up on the cutting room florr. Still surprised they left out Nappy's first Italian Campaign, which is really where he made his reputation as a great general, much more then Toulon.

I don’t think Apple wants to waste more money on this, and Ridley has moved on to his next twelve projects.

It's gonna be a long wait, Ridley is a pathological liar.

It's coming. Probably being part of G2 marketing.

Wasn't big on the TC, but I'm a fiend for DC. Will probably watch.

Ridley lied again.

Or you know maybe he worked on it a little more in the last 9 months or so and realized a shorter cut is better and what is the first lie? The new cut is coming so he did not lie about it existing.
