Kubrick researched a long time for his project but never had time to do it. Spielberg is collaborating with HBO to use that script for a miniseries though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brsrklf@compuverse.uk 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick's stuff?
