Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix Reteam for Napoleon Movie ‘Kitbag’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix appear determined to meet their Waterloo… or at least film it with the pair mounting a new historical war epic about French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The news was broken by Deadline, which filed the story on the last day of filming of production for Scott’s current historical epic, The Last Duel. The name of Scott’s Napoleon movie is Kitbag, apparently taken from the saying, “There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.” And the movie is coming together quickly for Scott, who’s already working with screenwriter David Scarpa, the writer of Scott’s previous…

And at the top of its list of box office failures is Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix. According to Deadline, Fox, and thereby their new owners at The Walt Disney Company, took a $133 million bath on what was intended to be a franchise course correction after the disappointing (but…

Dark Phoenix Hits Streaming

New DVD release,
It took long enough, but the last chapter of the original X-Men movie saga is finally going to arrive on streaming. With the proliferation of streaming services and apps out there, there was some question about whether Dark Phoenix would make it to Netflix. Or perhaps since it’s a former 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios) production, and thus under the Disney umbrella, whether its streaming home would be Disney+ or the similarly Disney-owned Hulu. That isn’t the case, though, and Dark Phoenix will stream on HBO Now. Considering that it stars Sophie Turner as its title character, it’s…
