After working on Gladiator with Ridley Scott more than 20 years ago, Joaquin Phoenix explains why decided to reunite with the director for Napoleon.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Napoleon star Joaquin Phoenix explains why he has reunited with Ridley Scott for the upcoming historical epic after first working with the director more than two decades ago on Gladiator. Released in 2000, Gladiator was one of the first movies to truly announce Phoenix as rising star.
“The truth is, there was just a very nostalgic idea of working with Ridley again. I had such an incredible experience working with Ridley on Gladiator, and I was so young. It was my first big production. I really yearned for that experience again, or something similar. He’s approached me about other things in the past, but nothing that felt like it would be as demanding for both of us. And so I really liked the idea of jumping into something with Ridley that was going to be that.
