There are few actors in the history of Hollywood with bigger balls than Joaquin Phoenix. Dude’s fearless. He does not give a fuck what you, me, or anyone thinks about the roles he chooses or movies he picks. Phoenix’s undeniable courage & willingness to dive head first into each & every one of his characters has defined his career. The four time Oscar nominee has played everything from Johnny Cash to the Joker to a Roman Emperor. But on November 27th, Phoenix can add to his filmography perhaps the most ambitious character of his career- Napoleon Bonaparte. Expectations could not be higher for Phoenix given he’s teaming back up with Ridley Scott for the first time since their iconic work on Gladiator. Scott is quoted as saying Phoenix’s performance is so special, the script was basically rewritten to cater to his magnetism. Between Cillian Murphy & Leonardo DiCaprio, this year’s Oscar race is already packed. But no one can mention Oscar without considering Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix, as always, will be heard from.
