Wasn’t Kubrick originally going to make this movie?
There has been many Napoleon projects, starting with the 1927 silent epic. Kubrick researched a long time for his project but never had time to do it. Spielberg is collaborating with HBO to use that script for a miniseries though.
What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick's stuff? No disrespect to either, but it's not like their works are very similar.
Because they were friends (or at least knew each other).
Yea I remember seeing something about that. Wonder if the script ever ended up anywhere. Like how Spielberg ended up directing Ai which was a Kubrick script or idea? I can’t remember.
