Steven Spielberg and HBO doing a 7 part mini series about Napoleon based on Kubrick's script.

Maybe having a game with Napoleon's name in the title would be good timing? I like the one that I heard at the Tournament! 

 

Part 1: Growing up and getting teased about his accent. They will regret this.

Part 2: Revolution and giving them a whiff of Grapeshot. Touloun.

Part 3: Taking over a dispirited, hungry army and winning glory in Italy.

Part 4: Emperor!  Master of Europe! 

Part 5: A growing ulcer in Spain. More battles across Europe. Love story around here somewhere.

Part 6: The greatest mistake you can make: marching on Moscow. 

Part 7: Escape from Elba, 100 days, Waterloo and ending in St Helena.

What is Napoleon about?

According to an archive of the research behind Napoleon, Kubrick wanted to film an expansive look at the French commander's life, from his birth in 1769 to his death in 1821. A pretty hefty task, all things considered. Kubrick was voracious with his research into the figure, with mountains of books and annotated notes from researchers he sent across Europe left behind.

Whether or not this newly developed version of Napoleon will stick to Kubrick's vision remains to be seen, as it's often said that the finished product of Kubrick's films rarely matched his initial scripts. Still, the unfinished work has such fan lore surrounding it that true to intention would probably be wise.
