Today on Little Wars TV, Greg puts on his screenwriting hat and rewrites Ridley Scott’s 2023 movie, Napoleon. Can a new version of the script explore a more focused, compelling story? Is there another woman in Napoleon’s life who offers a stronger character arc than Josephine?
Before rewriting the script, Greg explores the reasons why the original 2023 movie does not work. Then, he maps out a 3-act story with new main and supporting characters. You can be the judge! What did you think of David Scarpa’s script? How does this new story stack up? Can Napoleon's life story even be told in a single film...even a 4 hour director's cut? And would you be excited for a Spielberg-produced HBO miniseries in the future?
If you enjoy military history, miniature wargames, and the occasional diversion in historical film and television, subscribe to the channel! We’d love to have you here!
