The Joker star Joaquin Phoenix is reuniting with his Gladiator director Ridley Scott to play Napoleon in an epic historical drama. The movie titled Kitbag will showcase Phoenix as the French Revolution commander who goes on to become the French emperor, reported by Deadline. The movie’s title comes from the saying: “There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.” The Kitbag script is being written by Scott’s All the Money in the World collaborator David Scarpa. The film will be produced by Scott and Kevin Walsh for Scott Free. 20th Century Studios is behind the project.
