As one of the most well-known directors in Hollywood, Ridley Scott has brought many classics throughout his career, and " Napoleon " released last year is indeed the most popular director of the film. Some misses. The film's cumulative global box office is only US$220 million. As a blockbuster with a production cost of US$200 million, this box office is really pitiful. In addition to the dismal box office, the film's reputation is also hard to describe.
This film is also quite similar to Director Lei's other "powerful" blockbuster " Kingdom of Heaven ". Both films suffered from word-of-mouth and box office failure after being released in theaters, but "Kingdom of Heaven" The director's cut ultimately saved the film's reputation.
As early as before "Napoleon" was released, Ridley Scott revealed to the outside world that the film also planned to release a director's cut. He even revealed that the director's cut of the film would be more than four hours long, but In the end, due to the film's poor reputation and box office, Apple, as an investor, shelved the release plan of the director's cut of "Napoleon."
Recently, foreign media revealed that the length of Director Lei's edited version of "Napoleon" will be 205 minutes (3 hours and 25 minutes). Although it is much less than the more than four hours previously revealed by Director Lei, it is still longer than before. The theatrical version is 47 minutes longer. This number is basically similar to the actual added time of the director's cut of "Kingdom of Heaven".
Last month, foreign media reported that the director's cut of "Napoleon" had officially received a film rating. Unlike the theatrical version, the director's cut received an R-rating because of the Contains horrific images, sexual content, nudity and foul language. Now the length of the edited version of the film has been revealed, and various signs seem to indicate that the director's cut of "Napoleon" is about to be officially released. I wonder if the director's cut can ultimately save the reputation of this epic blockbuster.
