Quote:
HBO is preparing a miniseries based on Stanley Kubrick's research for a film dubbed his "greatest never made film" — a planned story on French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's 19th century struggle to bring Europe under his total control.

True Detective Emmy winner Cary Fukunaga is in talks to direct the mini, which is in development at the premium cable network.

Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey will exec produce the project via their Amblin Television banner.


Quote:
If you're not aware, Stanley Kubrick spent a large chunk of the '60s researching this project. He wrote a script, planned a number of elaborate battle sequences (some of which would have included tens of thousands of extras), and amassed close to 20,000 photos of Napoleonic-era ephemera to aid in production design.
