American film director, producer and screenwriter Stephen Spielberg said that he began to develop a mini-series about Napoleon Bonaparte, which was based on the script for the unrealized film by Stanley Kubrick.
“We are in the process of creating a large production of a series of 7 episodes for the American HBO paid television network according to this scenario written in 1961,” Spielberg said at a press conference at the Berlin Film Festival.
Thus, according to him, the prime minister will take place on the HBO television channel.
Kubrick planned to engage in Napoleon after the success of the film “Space Odyssey of 2001”. For these purposes, he conducted a large -scale study of the life of the French emperor. However, the case did not reach the filming, mainly due to the reasons for the financial nature.
