Actually, Kubrik WANTED speilberg to direct, and "hired" him long before he died. It was to be "A Steven Speilberg film, produced by Stanley Kubrik"
He made Speilberg install a private fax machine in his house, and Kubrik constantly faxed him drafts and storyboards, etc, about the project.
When Speilberg wrote the script, he apparently followed all of Kubriks notes and faxes. I'm sure they weren't extremely organized or anything (he worked on this stuff for over a decade), but I wouldn't go as far as say this is purely a Speilberg film by any means.
It is a shame we'll never know for sure what it would've been with Kubrik alive.
