Sai Jodie Comer, entra Vanessa Kirby!

Ridley Scott, even past 80, doesn’t stop. In 2021 he directed Or Last Duel e Gucci house. And now he’s getting ready for another historic film that looks like it’s going to be great. IT’S Kitbag, the story of the love of Napoleon and Josephine, as well as the rise and great battles of the emperor. He is expected to start filming later this month in Europe. The film will be released on Apple TV Plus. And with that, due to scheduling problems, he lost his Josephine, which would be played by Jodie Comer.

The actress, who had her best moment so far in cinema, precisely in Or Last Duel, already had an appointment. It is his first production in English theater in the West End, Prima Facie. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast, Jodie Comer spoke about the subject. “Unfortunately, due to COVID and schedule changes, I don’t think I’ll be able to do Kitbag, due to a conflict of dates”. The actress is expected to start rehearsing the play in March, for a limited season from April to June. In other words, I couldn’t finish the shoot in time.

But Ridley Scott wasted no time and seems to have already found his Josephine. Vanessa Kirby is in final negotiations to take on the role alongside Joaquin Phoenix, who will play Napoleon. In fact, the actress has been super busy. She has two movies to open this year. The first is Mission Impossible 7, where she will resume the role of the White Widow. And still have The Son, sequence of My dad, com Hugh Jackman.
