If Scott set out to create a hagiographic portrait of Napoleon, why is there no mention of the French general and ruler’s administrative reforms? Military successes follow Napoleon, who nevertheless rushes back to France in the midst of a campaign in Egypt when he hears of Joséphine taking a lover. Despite their separation, Napoleon and Joséphine continue to be friends and confidants. Scott has been quoted as saying apart from Phoenix, he had another actor in mind for the lead role (was it Adam Driver?)
