Spielberg developing Kubrick’s Napoleon as miniseries

Napoleon was supposed to be Stanley Kubrick’s follow-up to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The movie almost happened. Extensive research was done, costumes were made, the screenplay was written, locations were scouted, names were thrown around for the cast — from various sources: Audrey Hepburn, David Hemmings, Jack Nicholson, Oskar Werner. The Romanian army even agreed to stage the massive battle scenes for Kubrick. According to Wikipedia, this would have involved 40,000 soldiers and 10,000 cavalrymen. But then the project got shelved due to the ballooning budget and the box office failure of the film Waterloo.

Now Steven Spielberg is taking up the project. Canal Plus interviewed Spielberg recently, and the director revealed that he is working with Kubrick’s family to turn the Napoleon screenplay into a television miniseries. Spielberg previously completed Kubrick’s unmade A.I. Artificial Intelligence, a movie I liked until the ending (which you’ve probably heard a lot from almost everyone).

No word yet on how far Spielberg is with the teleplay or how long it will be. Logan wondered in a staff email if we’d see Spielberg’s delayed Robopocalypse adaptation before Napoleon is completed. Expect more information on Napoleon in the coming months.

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

Prince Setna and the Magic Book of Thoth

By

  Prince Setna and the Magic Book of Thoth Procursus: This is a very late story, existing only in a Demotic-script manuscript probably copied during the period of the Greek Ptolemaic kings (the “XXXIInd” dynasty) somewhere after 305 BC. The action is set a thousand years earlier, under the great pharaoh Ramesses II (XIXth dynasty), but that setting was either mere romanticism or an inaccurately understood historical tradition, for the writer of the existing copy of the story seems to have imagined the capital to have been at Memphis (one of the Ptolemaic capitals) rather than at Thebes, where Ramesses really had his capital, and the author gives far more attention to the god Ptah than would have been appropriate for a story from the time of Ramesses. Some Greek names also point to the Ptolemaic copyist’s (or author’s) lack of attention to historical accuracy in the setting of the tale. This version of the story has been modified from an 1899 rendering by W. M. Flinders Petrie, pres...

  Eric Carle: The Man Behind the Caterpillar Eric Carle, who passed away on May 23, 2021 at the age of 91, was one of the most beloved and influential children’s book authors and illustrators of our time. His books, such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and The Grouchy Ladybug, have sold more than 170 million copies worldwide and have been translated into more than 70 languages. His distinctive collage art style, his playful use of colors and shapes, and his simple yet profound stories have captivated generations of young readers and adults alike. But who was the man behind the caterpillar? What inspired him to create such memorable characters and images? And what was his impact on children’s literature and education? Eric Carle was born on June 25, 1929 in Syracuse, New York, to German immigrant parents. When he was six years old, his family moved back to Germany, where he grew up during the Nazi regime and World War II. He experienced hard...

Ouroboros, Jung, Kekules Dream, Cosmos, Cybernetics,Theosophical Society, The World Teacher and Jiddu Krishnamurti Ouroboros The ouroboros or uroboros (/ˌjʊərəˈbɒrəs/[2]) is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon[3] eating its own tail. The ouroboros entered Western tradition via ancient Egyptian iconography and the Greek magical tradition. It was adopted as a symbol in Gnosticism and Hermeticism and most notably in alchemy. The term derives from Ancient Greek οὐροβόρος,[4] from οὐρά oura 'tail' plus -βορός -boros '-eating'.[5][6] The ouroboros is often interpreted as a symbol for eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The skin-sloughing process of snakes symbolizes the transmigration of souls, the snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in som...
