      Fast 40 Jahre lang spekulierten die Fans von Stanley Kubrick über seinen geheimnisvollen, nie gedrehten Film über Napoleon Bonaparte, der unmittelbar nach „2001: Odyssee im Weltraum“ entstehen sollte. Der Film war als Charakterstudie und bildgewaltiges Epos konzipiert, gefüllt mit grandiosen Schlachtszenen und Tausenden von Komparsen. Kubrick recherchierte zwei Jahre lang für sein Drehbuch und sammelte mit einem Napoleon-Experten aus Oxford ein beispielloses Vorproduktionsmaterial, darunter 15.000 Fotos von Drehorten und 17.000 Dias zur Napoleon-Zeit. Trotz seiner Besessenheit und unermüdlichen Suche nach Informationen wurde das Projekt von Hollywoodstudios als zu riskant erachtet, da Historienfilme aus der Mode kamen. TASCHENs Hommage an Kubricks unvollendetes Meisterwerk macht seine Vorarbeiten zu „Napoleon“ nun erstmals für Fans zugänglich. Nach der limitierten Originalausgabe von 2009 ist das Material jetzt in einem Band erhältlich, der alle Bücher der Originalausgabe als Faksimile enthält. Dazu gehören Kubricks Schriftwechsel, Kostümzeichnungen, Fotos möglicher Drehorte, Recherchematerial und Drehbuchentwürfe.

Dieses einzigartige Werk gewährt faszinierende Einblicke in Kubricks kreativen Prozess und die komplexe Persönlichk

      It has been over thirty years since the publication of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the science fiction classic that changed the way we looked at the stars -- and ourselves. From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man ventures to the outer rim of our solar system, Arthur C. Clarke takes us on a journey unlike any other.This allegory about humanity's exploration of the universe, and the universe's reaction to humanity, was the basis for Stanley Kubrick's immortal film, and lives on as a hallmark achievement in storytelling.
