Hollywood director Steven Spielberg has announced that he will soon start turning the movie "Napoleon" into a miniseries. It is a never-realized project that Stanley Kubrick once claimed was the best film of all time.
"It is impossible to describe to you what I am going to do. I'll just say that I expect to make the best film ever," wrote legendary director Stella Kubrick in 1971 in a letter addressed to film studios that rejected his project.
"Napoleon" was supposed to be a historical epic of unprecedented proportions, which will portray the exciting fate of one of the most important Frenchmen of all time. Oskar Werner and Audrey Hepburn were mentioned as the main actors, but in the end filming was abandoned.
Only now are better times coming for the "best movie ever", if Steven Spielberg is to be believed, who is negotiating with Kubrick's descendants to make a mini-series "Napoleon".
Speaking to the French media, Spielberg announced that he has been developing Kubrick's script for some time, but not for the big screen, but for the small screen.
It won't be the first time that Spielberg picks up where Kubrick left off, as he has previously completed and screened some of Kubrick's projects. In addition, in cooperation with Tom Hanks, he has already signed successful series in the television production of the HBO network.
Spielberg visited France to solemnly accept the role of president of the jury at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
