Bill and Ted had the best Napoleon.

This is probably the "movie that almost was" I most wanted to have seen and been made, Kubrick's Napoleon movie. His conviction for making this movie, I'm sure would have translated to another great film of his. I'm still curious also what his final cut of "Eyes Wide Shut" would have been, the missing footage that didn't make it into the film after he screened it for Warner Bros. producers and him dying shortly after that.

@v-trigger6137

there are some conspiracy theories. some say that the original cut had some footage which was revealing shady stuff about "Illuminati", and the producers don't wanted to risk their life and the studio's reputation. some theories even go far and say that Kubrick was refusing to cut the footage, so they killed him at the end of the day, these are just a bunch of stupid theories, found in internet... I don't think we will ever get to know the real reason regarding why they cut the footage

If they do turn Kubrick's screenplay into a 10 episode miniseries, I think they should cast Timothée Chalamet as a young Napoleon. Not only is he an incredible actor who is around the same age as Napoleon when he shined as a young artillery officer during the Siege of Toulon (where he nearly lost his life), but he's also half French and is fluent in speaking French. Plus he already has experience in acting in biopics when he played a historical monarch in The King.

Really? I thought so, too, when SS made 'A.I.' That was, for me, a pure, 'Oh, no!' However, his comment about 'channeling Stanley' rang true to my mind, especially after multiple viewings. Spielberg heavily stepped-on where he might have gone with the film to make it more palatable to already extant SS audiences. SS & SK worked for years on making this film together: 'You produce, I direct.' Then, later, 'No, no, you direct, I produce,' said Stanley. I trust Kubrick, so, trusting Spielberg, therefore, to make it after his death was only right and proper.

It wasn't a total loss. Kubrick's research into the period was used in "Barry Lyndon." If you want to see what his Napoleon film might've been like, watch "Barry Lyndon" - especially the military sequences. I'm willing to accept Barry Lyndon as Napoleon' s stunt double.

After Napoleon fell through, Kubrick wanted to film Thackeray's novel Vanity Fair, as The Battle Of Waterloo is featured in it. So he could have a reason to put it on film. Then The BBC announced an adaptation, so K felt he couldn't put out a film of it as well. Looking at Thackeray's other work, he found Barry Lyndon, and choose that, as it's set during the same period.

That's too bad he never got the chance to make the movie he wanted to make.Hopefully that dream comes true.Im trying a movie about prophet Elijah hope to see that being a possibility.

I ve seen Barry Lyndon just the once. It is brilliant obviously however less easily accessible compared to his other films. His Napoleon film would have been a monumental achievement for the ages
