Ridley Scott has dropped the trailer for his next epic but fans have noticed that the cast of Napoleon doesn’t appear to be attempting French accents.
The new film by the Blade Runner director will be a dramatised biopic of the French military leader who was a prominent figure in the French Revolution.
Joaquin Phoenix can be seen as Napoleon in the gritty trailer, which boasts big wartime fight scenes and political power grabs as the titular historical figure rises to become Emperor of France.
