These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-07-07,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Final, Round 10 - Challenge Round
A. Unfinished Stanley Kubrick Projects
The late film director Stanley Kubrick was known for exhaustive
research and meticulous attention to detail in preparing to shoot
his movies. But some of his planned projects went unrealized.

planned to make a film about a European military and
political leader who died in 1821, but the project was
cancelled due to the prohibitive cost of filming on location
and the commercial failure of another movie featuring
the same historical figure. Who was to be the subject of
Kubrick's film?
A2. Kubrick was developing a Holocaust-themed project called
"Aryan Papers", but dropped it in the wake of the release
of what 1993 film?
A3. When he died in 1999, Kubrick had been working on a
science-fiction film about artificial intelligence.
Name the *director* who took Kubrick's various script
drafts and notes on his visual schemes to create the
feature "A.I.: Artificial Intelligence".

Mark Brader:
Hearty congratulations!
Note: During this round I received email from Marc Dashevsky,
saying that other people's answers had reached his news server
ahead of the questions and asking for a copy of the questions.
But I did not receive any answers from him either by email or
in the newsgroup.
This completes the season written by Five Guys Named Moe, and
next we will go on directly to questions from the third season
of 2015, which was written by the Bloor Street Irregulars.

Hearty congratulations!
Note: During this round I received email from Marc Dashevsky,
saying that other people's answers had reached his news server
ahead of the questions and asking for a copy of the questions.
But I did not receive any answers from him either by email or
in the newsgroup.
This completes the season written by Five Guys Named Moe, and
next we will go on directly to questions from the third season
of 2015, which was written by the Bloor Street Irregulars.
