Dan Snow is slammed by furious A-list star after TV historian pointed out ‘inaccuracies’ in upcoming $200million Napoleon biopic\u00a0<\/h1>\n

Ridley Scott has slammed TV historian Dan Snow for criticising his upcoming historical epic Napoleon.<\/p>\n

Snow, 44, picked out historical inaccuracies in the $200million film which stars Joaquin Phoenix as the French military commander.<\/p>\n

The historian pointed out that Napoleon\u00a0did not fight at the pyramids nor did he ever witness Marie Antoinette’s execution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Snow also took issue with the film’s tagline, ‘He came from nothing, he conquered everything,’ because Napoleon never conquered Britain.<\/p>\n

‘I love historical epics. I love Ridley Scott. But if you\u2019re watching this movie, it ain\u2019t a documentary,’ Snow said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Criticism: Ridley Scott has slammed TV historian Dan Snow for criticising his upcoming historical epic Napoleon<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Blockbuster:\u00a0Snow, 44, picked out historical inaccuracies in the $200million film which stars Joaquin Phoenix as the French military commander<\/p>\n

Ridley did not have much time for Snow’s criticisms however, as he told him to ‘get a life’ in an interview with The New Yorker.<\/p>\n

While Snow may not have been impressed, Ridley’s\u00a0military adviser on the film, former paratrooper Paul Biddiss insisted the director put much care into the project.<\/p>\n

‘Uniformity is very important with Ridley \u2014 right down to the guys, making sure their hats are straight,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Napoleon Bonaparte, later known by his regnal name Napoleon I, was a Corsican-born French military commander and political leader.<\/p>\n

He gained fame during the French Revolution and led successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars.<\/p>\n

The film explores Napoleon’s climb to power through his relationship with his wife Josephine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will see Phoenix star opposite Vanessa Kirby, who played Princess Margaret in The Crown, after Killing Eve star Jodie Comer was forced to pull out.<\/p>\n

It is also the first time Phoenix has been reunited with director Sir Ridley Scott since starring in Gladiator in 2000.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Firing back:\u00a0Ridley did not have much time for Snow’s criticisms however, as he told him to ‘get a life’ in an interview with The New Yorker<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Project:\u00a0The film explores Napoleon’s climb to power through his relationship with his wife Josephine<\/p>\n

The film was previously titled Kitbag which referred to the saying: ‘There is a general’s staff hidden in every soldier’s kitbag.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The expression means it is possible for any soldier to become a general.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking about the film, Sir Ridley said: ‘Napoleon is a man I’ve always been fascinated by.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘He came out of nowhere to rule everything \u2013but all the while he was waging a romantic war with his adulterous wife Josephine.<\/p>\n

‘He conquered the world to try to win her love, and when he couldn’t, he conquered it to destroy her.<\/p>\n

‘No actor could ever embody Napoleon like Joaquin.’<\/p>\n

Napoleon opens in theatres on Wednesday November 22.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
