The succeeding stories will expand upon Kubrick's original Civil War story, reported Variety.
Kubrick wrote the script following the release of his anti-war film Fear and Desire and before directing World War I drama Paths of Glory.
The Downslope revolves around a series of Civil War battles in the Shenandoah Valley between Union General George Armstrong Custer and Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby, known as the Gray Ghost for his stealth and elusiveness.
His cavalrymen, known as Mosby's Rangers, continually outsmarted the much larger enemy forces in a sequence of raids, which enraged Custer and created a cycle of revenge between the two men.
