KIRK DOUGLAS'S COPY OF Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon 1 OF 1000 NEW IN BOX

Description: This collector's edition is limited to 1,000 numbered copies. TASCHEN's sumptuous, limited-edition tribute to this unmade masterpiece makes Kubrick's valiant work on "Napoleon" available to fans for the first time . Herein, readers can peruse a selection of Kubrick's correspondence, various costume studies, location scouting photographs, research material, script drafts, and more, each category of material in its own book. Kubrick's final draft is reproduced in facsimile while the other texts are tidily kenneled into one volume where they dare not interfere with the visual material. All of these books are tucked inside of--or shall we say hiding in?--a carved-out reproduction of a Napoleon history book. 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. Stanley Kubrick boasted it would be “the best movie ever made.” Instead, his epic Napoleon was canceled before shooting began after years of intense planning. This is the fascinating archive of the greatest film that never was, including Kubrick correspondence, location scouting images, research, costume studies, and a facsimile of the final script draft.
