This is about right. I like how Julian Schnabel is under both but does not fall in the middle. The movie Basquiat is pretty awesome though.

Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made
Edited by Alison Castle

Oh Taschen why do you like to empty my pockets? I already have Taschen/Alison Castle’s previous Stanley Kubrick Archives, which is epic in and of itself, chronicling his films through stills, behind-the-scenes photographs, documents, quotes, reviews, and an overall encyclopedia of all things Kubrick (if you haven’t seen this or picked it up, DO check it out). Now they, along with French design studio M/M (Paris) team up to create what they call, “the greatest book ever made about the greatest movie never made”.

To equal Kubrick’s grand vision of Napoleon (whom he envisioned either Jack Nicholson or Al Pacino to star in), the book itself is a massive 11.6” x 14.7” hardcover book representing a Napoleon biography, and is cutout inside to make room for 10 smaller books, all of which cover the abandoned film in great detail.

To really get an idea of the book’s brilliant design, watch Taschen’s feature HERE, as the photo doesn’t really do it justice.

As amazing as this all is, and I’m sure any and all Kubrick heads would love to put this up on their bookshelves and/or coffee tables, it’s only limited to 1,000 numbered copies and is going for a hefty $700.00. Not that this isn’t worth every penny but designers especially, gotta eat. Just sayin.

Taschen just released this awesome book covering pre-20th century typography from 1628-1900. Type nerds all over should be drooling.

Werner Herzog’s Rogue Film School

1. The Rogue Film School will be in the form of weekend seminars held by Werner Herzog in person at varying locations and at infrequent intervals.

2. The number of participants will be limited.

3. Locations and dates will be announced on this website and Werner Herzog’s website: www.wernerherzog.com approximately 12 weeks in advance.

4. The Rogue Film School will not teach anything technical related to film-making. For this purpose, please enroll at your local film school.

5. The Rogue Film School is about a way of life. It is about a climate, the excitement that makes film possible. It will be about poetry, films, music, images, literature.

6. The focus of the seminars will be a dialogue with Werner Herzog, in which the participants will have their voice with their projects, their questions, their aspirations.

7. Excerpts of films will be discussed, which could include your submitted films; they may be shown and discussed as well. Depending on the materials, the attention will revolve around essential questions: how does music function in film? How do you narrate a story? (This will certainly depart from the brainless teachings of three-act-screenplays). How do you sensitize an audience? How is space created and understood by an audience? How do you produce and edit a film? How do you create illumination and an ecstasy of truth?

8. Related, but more practical subjects, will be the art of lockpicking. Traveling on foot. The exhilaration of being shot at unsuccessfully. The athletic side of filmmaking. The creation of your own shooting permits. The neutralization of bureaucracy. Guerrilla tactics. Self reliance.

9. Censorship will be enforced. There will be no talk of shamans, of yoga classes, nutritional values, herbal teas, discovering your Boundaries, and Inner Growth.

10. Related, but more reflective, will be a reading list: if possible, read Virgil’s “Georgics”, read “Hemingway’s “The short happy life of Francis Macomber”, The Poetic Edda, translated by Lee M. Hollander (in particular the Prophecy of the Seeress), Bernal Diaz del Castillo “True History of the Conquest of New Spain”.

11. Follow your vision. Form secretive Rogue Cells everywhere. At the same time, be not afraid of solitude.

Gah this is so pretentious and amazing all at once. Only way this could be better is if Klaus Kinski was still alive and in each seminar he would randomly show up and yell at everyone and choke out a guy. Oh I wish I had about $1500 right now to do this for real.
