In the early 1990s Stanley Kubrick was planning to make a film based on Louis Begley’s novel Wartime Lies. The book tells the story of a Polish boy, Maciek, and his aunt, Tania, who are forced to flee Poland after the German invasion. Scouting for locations, Kubrick became involved in a collaboration with the Polish film industry, and especially with Tor Film Production. Eventually, Steven Spielberg’s critically acclaimed Schindler’s List made Kubrick abandon his project owing to the similarity of the subject matter. A quarter of a century later, the correspondence (letters, faxes, invoices, ads) between Kubrick and certain Polish artists and producers has been discovered. They give an insight into the nitty-gritty of the (pre-) production process of Kubrick’s planned film on the fate of Jews during WWII.
