Joaquin Phoenix is ​​getting support from his real-life partner Rooney Mara at the launch of his new film ‘Napoleon’, but he skipped the red carpet photo shoot.

“Napoleon” is an action epic that depicts the rise and violent fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The film chronicles Bonaparte’s brutal journey to power through the lens of his dependent and volatile relationship with his true love, Josephine, and contrasts his fantastical military and political tactics with some of the most dynamic real-life battle scenes ever put on film.

The film can be seen in theaters starting November 22. Check out the action-packed trailer for the movie!
