Wasn’t Kubrick originally going to make this movie?

There has been many Napoleon projects, starting with the 1927 silent epic. 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.

What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick's stuff? No disrespect to either, but it's not like their works are very similar.
