Spielberg takes over Kubrick’s posthumous work to create Napoleon biography

On February 22, it was reported that director Steven Spielberg is sorting out the “Napoleon” script left by his friend Stanley Kubrick, and is expected to adapt the story into a 7-episode series.

When “2001: A Space Odyssey” entered post-production, Kubrick was already preparing to bring the story of Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the First French Empire, to the screen. To this end, he collected a large amount of information, and also researched and designed clothing through historical materials.

Due to Kubrick’s death, the project of the biopic “Napoleon” was forced to stop. Many fans left messages on the Internet expressing their expectation that Spielberg can complete Kubrick’s will.
