Napoleon just got a lot taller… er, longer. Apple TV+ released a surprise director's cut of Ridley Scott's Napoleon Thursday. The new cut of the movie incorporates an additional 48 minutes of previously unreleased footage, which brings the new running time to a staggering 205 minutes, as the version that hit theaters in November already ran 157 minutes.

In an age of boilerplate sequels that end up regurgitating the same formula over and over, Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant felt like a bold step into the unknown. A direct sequel to 2012’s Prometheus and a prequel to the 1979 sci-fi classic Alien, it served as a bridge between the past and the future to one of the most iconic sci-fi horror franchises of all time. With audiences slightly discombobulated by the lack of xenomorphs in Prometheus, though, it’s clear that Alien: Covenant was all set to be a crowd-pleaser, bringing the focus of the series back to one of cinema’s most terrifying monsters. Thing is, audiences were split on some of the narrative decisions that were made during the overarching plot.

Reports of the Western genre’s demise have been greatly exaggerated many times over harkening back to its very conception in the silent era and glorious heydays as Hollywood’s premiere crowd-pleaser during the Golden Age, all the way to its gradual but steady decline in the latter half of the 20th century and subsequent revivals. And though unfairly pigeonholed as a source of mass entertainment with a strict American sensibility and old-fashioned values, the truth is that, despite greatly fluctuating in popularity throughout the decades, few genres if any have proven to be as timeless, resilient, varied, morally challenging and universally appealing as the Western.

The James Bond franchise may be best known as a series of commercially entertaining blockbuster action films, but the series has much more serious origins in the original novels written by Ian Fleming.
