The fascinating tale of Kubrick's unfilmed masterpiece Now available in an unlimited, single-volume edition! For 40 years, Kubrick fans and film buffs have wondered about the director's mysterious unmade film on Napoleon Bonaparte. Slated for production immediately following the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick's "Napoleon" was to be at once a character study and a sweeping epic, replete with grandiose battle scenes featuring thousands of extras. To write his original screenplay, Kubrick embarked on two years of intensive research; with the help of dozens of assistants and an Oxford Napoleon specialist, he amassed an unparalleled trove of research and preproduction material, including approximately 15,000 location scouting photographs and 17,000 slides of Napoleonic imagery. No stone was left unturned in Kubrick's nearly-obsessive quest to uncover every piece of information history had to offer about Napoleon. But alas, Kubrick's movie was not destined to be: the film studios, first M.G.M. and then United Artists, decided such an undertaking was too risky at a time when historical epics were out of fashion. TASCHEN's tribute to this unmade masterpiece makes Kubrick's valiant work on "Napoleon" available to fans for the first time. Based on the original 2009 limited edition which featured ten books hidden inside of a carved out reproduction of a Napoleon history book, this publication brings all the original elements together in one volume. Herein, all of the books from the original edition are reproduced in facsimile: correspondence, costume studies, location scouting photographs, research material, script drafts, and more. Kubrick's final draft is reproduced in its entirety. The text book features the complete original treatment, essays examining the screenplay in historical and dramatic contexts, an essay by Jean Tulard on Napoleon in cinema, and a transcript of interviews Kubrick conducted with Oxford professor Felix Markham. The culmination of years of research and preparation, this unique publication offers readers a chance to experience the creative process of one of cinema's greatest talents as well as a fascinating exploration of the enigmatic figure that was Napoleon Bonaparte. *Includes access to searchable/downloadable online research database: Kubrick's complete picture file of nearly 17,000 Napoleonic images*… (mer)

A monster of a book (4,5 kg!), even though I only own the popular not the limited edition. Whether Kubrick's Napoleon would have become a great movie is debatable. Its script reads like a cross of Eyes Wide Shut (Napoleon - Josephine) and Barry Lyndon (my least favorite Kubrick movie if I ignore the violence of A Clockwork Orange which makes it almost unwatchable for me). Kubrick has amassed an incredible amount of data (not knowledge!) about the Napoleonic era. The chaotic organization made this data almost unusable. Taschen has put the 17.000 illustrations Kubrick's researchers have amassed on-line (in a very inconvenient and restrictive way). The pictures are badly annotated and often lack attribution. Finding an illustration again must have been a nightmare as would have been finding any kind of information in this pre-computer era. What Taschen didn't put on-line were the thousands of location and uniform shots - a missed chance!

The materiel is, even in the basic edition, gorgeously presented. The written texts, however, are disappointing and the analysis stops at a very, very basic level. The author's knowledge about the Napoleonic era is, Jean Tulard excepted, also not very deep. Tulard handed in an article which will not have cost him much effort or research to write. Overall, the effort by Taschen stops short of fully presenting and digesting the masses of materiel Kubrick has assembled. ( )
