Ridley Scott's historical epic, "Napoleon: The Director's Cut," is now available to stream globally on Apple TV+. This new version of the film includes an additional 48 minutes of never-before-seen footage, extending the runtime to 205 minutes. The director's cut delves deeper into Napoleon's origins, his relationship with Josephine, and features the previously unreleased Battle of Marengo scene.

The original "Napoleon," starring Joaquin Phoenix as the French emperor, grossed over $221 million worldwide and received three Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design. The extended cut promises more extravagant costumes, new larger-than-life sets, and a richer exploration of Napoleon's rise to power and subsequent downfall. This release follows Scott's tradition of re-cutting his films to enhance storytelling, as seen in his previous works like "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Blade Runner."
