A television series about Napoleon Bonaparte based on Stanley Kubrick's original script, which has been lying in a drawer for years, will be filmed, Steven Spielberg revealed.

"We are working on a major series production in seven installments for the American network HBO, based on a script written in 1961," Spielberg said in Berlin.

Even ten years ago, Spielberg talked about making a mini-series based on the script written by the director of the films "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "A Hell's Orange" who gave him the idea for "Artificial Intelligence" (2001), reports N1 .

Kubrick died in 1999 and did not complete the major Napoleon biopic.

Steven Spielberg will receive an honorary "Golden Bear" at the Berlinale for a life's work that changed film history. Among his greatest successes are "Schindler's List", "Shark", "ET", "Jurassic Park".

He also returned to the filming of "The Fabelmans", a semi-autobiographical film that is starting to be shown in France, and the story is about his growing up and professional beginnings.

At the age of 76, Spielberg says that the film is "just as exciting" to him, and that finding the story for the film is more than anything else in his life, except perhaps the birth of a child.
