Is it a short film?

Not liking the revival of very modern music over trailers for period movies

Makes them seem very cheap.

My now ex Brother In Law was Professor of History at Liverpool University and was a world expert on Napoleon - Prof Charles Esdaile if you want to look him up.

Prof Charles Esdaile - Google Search

I look forward to his thoughts on this and how much was made up

So it should be accurate.

If there was a new film called Hitler and WWII and concentration camps didn't happen nobody would be saying "It's only a film".

I hope it includes Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe's part in his eventual downfall.

They need to stop with this "trailer starts now" business. Obviously it starts now.

The American accent with the odd dodgy twinge of a French one spoils it a bit.

The scene where he crowns himself is true though, so hopefully it’s historically accurate. Maybe timeframes will be a bit truncated.

It's such an asinine trend. Whoever came up with it needs a slap.

Admittedly I don't really know/don't remember what I learned in school about Napoleon, but the trailer looked waaaaay too desperate to create hype moments. Feels like they were one shot away from having him wear sunglasses and literally dropping a mic with all his goons screaming "OOOOOHHHHHH!".

Whatever it is I'm sure the French will find something to be offended by in it.

Hope they have that bit where he goes down water slides and eats loads of ice cream.

From Emperor of Rome to Emperor of France, Joaquin is sure doing well
