Anonymous asked: Could you set up links to read the full scripts and not just excerpts? It seems to be impossible to find "Poe" and "Crusade" in particular.
I wish I could, but several film companies have barred people from doing that. My collection will just have to come out in spurts/excerpts. Otherwise known as exspurts. Thanks for following the site though. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

Now this is fascinating news.
For years (decades, in fact) before his death, Stanley Kubrick was working on a film project about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. Of course, it never made it to the screen before he passed away, and it’s gone down in history as one of cinema’s greatest lost projects. There’s even been a book released about it (pictured above) that you can read about here…
Now, however, that’s all set to change. Speaking to French TV network Canal+, Spielberg has revealed that he’s working with the Kubrick Estate to make a TV mini-series based on Kubrick’s notes.
Spielberg said: “I’ve been developing Stanley Kubrick’s screenplay — for a miniseries not for a motion picture — about the life of Napoleon. Kubrick wrote the script in 1961, a long time ago.”
There’s no further information than that, but it’s unlikely Spielberg would raise the subject if some substantial work (beyond Kubrick’s, of course) hadn’t already been done. So this is definitely a project to keep an eye on.
I can see many people being annoyed by this, but Spielberg will bring Napoleon to the screen with the same studious respect he gave A.I.. I know a lot of people still take issue with that film, but hopefully everyone will keep an open mind until the series has been viewed.

NextMovie’s “What Oscar-Nominated Movies Would Look Like with Original Casts”

I’ve made two new Star Wars Episode 7 mashup movie posters, done in the same spirit as my last Star Wars/Little Miss Sunshine mashup poster. This time they’re a riff off the Star Trek: Into Darkness poster now that director J.J. Abrams has been announced to direct Episode 7.
One of the fun things about making Episode 7 fan art is sitting back and coming up with scenarios that might theoretically occur in the new sequels. There are many unanswered questions for them to address, such as which principle characters will drive the plot, which locations will be used, and which “wow” moments will be created. I tried illustrating two very different directions for these mashups, both involving the silhouette of the Rebel Alliance logo replacing the Star Fleet insignia from Star Trek.
For this first poster, I went to the Star Wars canon from the novels, where Luke Skywalker, now a Jedi Master, returns to planet Yavin IV with R2D2 to set up the new Jedi order at the Massassi temple. I’m fairly certain the Jedi order will begin to be remade in Episode 7, and will continue to grow throughout the new trilogy.
Here’s a mashup poster I made of Star Wars Episode 7 and Little Miss Sunshine, two movies written by screenwriter Michael Arndt. When he was announced as the Episode 7 screenwriter, the poster idea popped into my head and it wouldn’t go away.
The moment I tried to capture was the main characters getting ready to hop into the Millenium Falcon and head out into the next movie (of course, the story for Ep VII will most likely not have them all in it, but I picked them in the absence of any real story details). I wanted to stay as true to the iconic LMS poster as I could, and adjusted the Millienium Falcon’s dimensions to better match the VW van. Picking which character would replace which was fun, and certain subtleties were serendipitous, like the similarity of vests between the characters of Alan Arkin and Harrison Ford. Although I included official logos and crew names at the bottom for a more realistic touch, this is of course just fan art and was not made for commercial purposes.
Shout-out to the guys at 8-Bit Cubist for their helpful feedback as I worked on it.
