Connecting Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Napoleon
Becket
Eric Porter played Becket and Christopher Plummer the King, with Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies, Peter Jeffrey, Diana Rigg, Ian Holm and Roy Dotrice in the cast.
Ian Holm
He played Napoleon Bonaparte three times: in the television mini-series '' Napoleon and Love'' (1974), Terry Gilliam's ''Time Bandits'' (1981), and ''The Emperor's New Clothes''.
Brian De Palma
American film director and screenwriter
Its unconventional unfolding of plot (exemplified in its mathematical layout of dialogue) and its stress on perception have analogs in De Palma's filmmaking. He sought to adapt it numerous times, though the project would carry a substantial price tag, and has yet to appear on-screen (Steven Spielberg's 2002 adaptation of Philip K. Dick's '' Minority Report'' bears striking similarities to De Palma's visual style and some of the themes of ''The Demolished Man'').
His contemporaries include Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, John Milius, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Ridley Scott.
Steven Spielberg
American film director and screenwriter
In March 2013, Spielberg announced that he was developing a miniseries based on the life of Napoleon.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
He was to have played Macbeth in 2020, in a production of Shakespeare's tragedy reuniting with Matt Shakman at the Geffen Playhouse.
On 15 April 2020, the Geffen Playhouse announced on its blog that [https://www.geffenplayhouse.org/shows/macbeth/ its production of Macbeth], among others, had been postponed because of the Covid pandemic.
Macbeth
Play by William Shakespeare
Xu Xiaozhong's 1980 Central Academy of Drama production in Beijing made every effort to be unpolitical (necessary in the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution): yet audiences still perceived correspondences between the central character (whom the director had actually modelled on Louis Napoleon) and Mao Zedong. Shakespeare has often been adapted to indigenous theatre traditions, for example the ''Kunju Macbeth'' of Huang Zuolin performed at the inaugural Chinese Shakespeare Festival of 1986. Similarly, B. V. Karanth's ''Barnam Vana'' of 1979 had adapted ''Macbeth'' to the Yakshagana tradition of Karnataka, India. In 1997, Lokendra Arambam created ''Stage of Blood'', merging a range of martial arts, dance and gymnastic styles from Manipur, performed in Imphal and in England.
Napoleon III
'''Napoleon III''' (Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte; 20 April 1808{{spnd}}9 January 1873) was the first President of France (as '''Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte''') from 1848 to 1852 and the Emperor of the French from 1852 to 1870.
His father was Louis Bonaparte, the younger brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, who made Louis the king of Holland from 1806 until 1810.
His mother was Hortense de Beauharnais, the only daughter of Napoleon's wife Joséphine by her first marriage to Alexandre de Beauharnais.
Ever since the fall of Napoleon in 1815, a Bonapartist movement had existed in France, hoping to return a Bonaparte to the throne.
This heir, known by Bonapartists as Napoleon II, was living in virtual imprisonment at the court of Vienna under the title Duke of Reichstadt.
Next in line was Napoleon I's eldest brother Joseph Bonaparte (1768–1844), followed by Louis Bonaparte (1778–1846), but neither Joseph nor Louis had any interest in re-entering public life.
In response to officially inspired requests for the return of the empire, the Senate scheduled another referendum for 21–22 November 1852 on whether to make Napoleon emperor.
His regnal name treats Napoleon II, who never actually ruled, as a true Emperor (he had been briefly recognized as emperor from 22 June to 7 July 1815).
He removed from the Napoleonic Code the infamous article 1781, which said that the declaration of the employer, even without proof, would be given more weight by the court than the word of the employee.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
He is going to narrate "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", on which he commented, "I am from Denmark and Hans Christian Andersen is part of our culture and I am very proud being part of this project. ' The Steadfast Tin Soldier' is a beautiful love story which we can all relate to."
Hans Christian Andersen
"The Little Mermaid" was completely Andersen's creation though influenced by De la Motte Fouqué's "Undine" (1811) and the lore about mermaids.
Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué
German writer
In 1813, the year of the rising against Napoleon, he again fought with the Prussian army, and the new patriotism awakened in the German people left its mark upon his writings.
