Rupert Sanders Set to Direct ‘Napoleon’ for Warner Bros.

THR:

Rupert Sanders, the commercials director who made his directorial debut with Snow White and the Huntsman, has signed on to helm Napoleon, an epic biopic of the French military leader for Warner Bros.

Jeremy Doner (AMC’s The Killing) wrote the script, which is taking a Scarface-like look at its subject, Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonaparte is one of history’s most outsized personalities, a genius who believed in himself almost too much even as he could inspire hundreds of thousands to do his military and political bidding.
