Al Pacino will star as Napoleon Bonaparte in Killer Films' adaptation of "Betsy and the Emperor," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Staton Rabin's 2004 young-adult book follows the true story of Betsy Balcombe, who befriended Bonaparte during his years exiled to the remote island of St. Helena.
There's no word yet who will co-star as Betsy, or when filming will begin.
Pacino, 58, starred alongside "The Godfather, Part II" co-star Robert DeNiro in 2008's "Righteous Kill."
