Napoleon

Following the movie A.I., this is the second time Steven Spielberg is bringing one of directing mentor Stanley Kubrick's lost projects to life. Kubrick had planned making a Napoleon biopic, which would star Jack Nicholson in the title role, but Kubrick did another time-period epic, Barry Lyndon, instead, working with Jack later in The Shining. As of 2023, Jack is currently billed as a cast-member here... most likely a cameo for almost having played the lead, that is, if the cameo happens at all since Nicholson unofficially retired from acting in 2010.
