Wouldn't it be better if "Steven and I are definitely going to be doing Lincoln in the....."?

"I don't know anything other than what you know," Neeson said at a press junket for "Taken." "He asked me four years ago would I play this part, and I most certainly said I would. He'll do it whenever he's ready to do it, but it's in the works." Spielberg said at the Golden Globes that things were "coming together really quickly" on the Lincoln film. Neeson said he hasn't seen a script and doesn't know how young Spielberg wants Lincoln to be in the film. Neeson is 56 now, the same age Lincoln was when he was assassinated. http://www.kansascity.com...ainment/story/979739.html GOCUBSGO

First, his screenwriter, Tony Kushner, writing SS's Lincoln bio-pic starring Liam Neeson now says the film, not currently on the release slate, could be out as early as Christmas. Neeson's "hot" again, thanks to Taken. Lincoln is "hot," thanks to Obama and all the bio-stuff floating around PBS on him (this month). If the script is ready and ducks start falling in a row, schedule-wise, why not? Disney and Dreamworks made the rumors come true and signed their distribution deal. Kim Masters has a take on why Dreamworks SpielbergKG got away from Paramount, Universal and the rest and wound up with Disney. She gets into the up box office/down DVD sales, falling TV ratings and ad revenues and suggests that maybe Disney needed Dreamworks more than Universal, and that maybe Universal's honcho didn't like being embarrassed by Dreamworks' secret meetings with Disney.

Its commentary is from John Updike (who died January 27), Toni Morrison, E.L. Doctorow, among other authors; Presidents Jimmy Carter and both Bushes; historians including Doris Kearns Goodwin who wrote "Team of Rivals"; actors Liam Neeson and Sam Waterston; among others. "In Lincoln's Hand" was edited by leading Lincoln scholars Harold Holzer and Joshua Wolf Shenk. Rachel K "The only queer people are those who don't love anybody." -- Rita Mae Brown

But no more! According to Spielberg's publicist, Marvin Levy, "Lincoln is alive and well and continues in active development ... Our plans are now to shoot the picture later this year." (No pun intended, presumably.) http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2009/02/spielbergs_lincoln_survives_as.html GOCUBSGO

Neeson starts work on Lincoln film By Maureen Coleman Saturday, 13 June 2009 Liam Neeson Work is finally expected to begin on the biopic of Abraham Lincoln starring Liam Neeson. Post-production of Steven Spielberg's forthcoming The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn has finished freeing up the award-winning director to spend time on the Lincoln project. Ballymena man Neeson is set to take on the lead role of the US president in the movie, opposite Sally Field. To prepare for the role Neeson allegedly read 22 books about Lincoln and travelled to Washington DC to study Lincoln's personal letters. At 6ft 4, the lofty actor is the same height as Lincoln and was Spielberg's first choice to play him in his movie. Neeson was approached by Spielberg about the role four years ago but it has taken all this time to get the project off the ground due to Spielberg's other movie commitments and rumours of financial restrictions. Spielberg had been hoping the movie would be released in 2009 but had to put the movie on hold while filming took place on Tintin. However, according to Sight and Sound magazine, Tintin has been completed and the Lincoln biopic is about to go into production. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/neeson-starts-work-on-lincoln-film-14337370.html GOCUBSGO

In a role that's set to be the Irish actor's greatest to date, Neeson will play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in the biopic opposite Sally Field, who will portray his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. The highly anticipated film, based on the bestselling Lincoln biography "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin, was originally scheduled for a 2009 release date, but was put on hold when directing great Spielberg began work on the forthcoming "The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn," an animated adventure featuring the voice of Daniel Craig. According to Sight & Sound film magazine, now that filming has wrapped up for "Tintin," Spielberg is free to begin work on his Lincoln project, which is set for a 2011 release date. "Lincoln" will be even more relevant now with Barack Obama in the White House. Obama has named Lincoln as his hero, and his modeled his all-star cabinet after the "team of rivals" concept of Lincoln's officers. The award-winning director first approached Neeson about the epic role around four years ago. Neeson starred in Spielberg's 1993 Oscar-winning Holocaust film "Schindler's List," in which he played another real-life person, Oskar Schindler. The famous Irish actor, who is currently filming "Clash of the Titans" and recently signed on to play Col. John Hannibal Smith in a film version of "The A-Team," has portrayed other characters based on famous people in the past, including Michael Collins and Alfred Kinsey. Neeson, who tragically lost his wife Natasha Richardson this past March in a tragic ski accident, has stated privately he believes that playing Abraham Lincoln will be the role of a lifetime, and that he is looking forward immensely to the project. The actor has expressed his dedication to the project through his intense preparation; the Antrim native has read 22 books about Lincoln and traveled to Washington D.C. to study the American president's personal letters. http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Neeson-ready-to-transform-into-Abraham-Lincoln-49614032.html GOCUBSGO

I hated the original. GOCUBSGO
