Apple Studios has committed to finance and produce Kitbag, the Napoleon Bonaparte epic that Ridley Scott will direct, with Oscar-winning Joker star Joaquin Phoenix playing the French emperor and military leader.

Production will begin in early 2022 in the UK.

“No actor could ever embody Napoleon like Joaquin,” Scott said. “He created one of movie history’s most complex Emperors in Gladiator, and we’ll create another with his Napoleon. It’s a brilliant script written by David Scarpa, and today there’s no better partner than Apple to bring a story like this to a global audience.”

Apple is trying to get into the distribution game. They want to do a joint release, as in release their movies in theaters a month  or a few weeks before releasing it to streaming. They currently have some sort of deal with A24.
