Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon

Great article at Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon: A Lot Of Work, Very Little Actual Movie.

"You could make it yourself if you want, as every single bit of information pertaining to the project has recently been published in the form of a book called Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made. It’s ten books in one (literally, with nine books sitting inside one enormous carved out fake book), limited to 1,000 copies, and costs £450. All the location scouting photos, all the research pictures, costume tests, correspondence with historical experts, Kubrick’s script – everything’s in there. It’s amazing. I went to the HQ of the publisher Taschen; they let me touch it. They wouldn’t give me one for free for some reason."
