Speilberg's "Abe Lincoln" project.

Check it out at IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0443272/

There's not a whole lot of information out about it yet, but I think this could do absolutely amazing in the box office. Abe Lincoln is someone that almost everyone looks up to, and respects for being able to end slavery and defeat the South. The fact that he was a huge darkhorse to win the elections and then make those two huge strides during his Presidency could make for a real amazing movie.

Now some question: Only Liam Neeson has been announced to play Abe Lincoln. Who do you think will play John Booth (The man who killed Lincoln), or some of othe primary characters? Mary Lincoln, Abe's wife willl likely play a big role in the movie, people like Ulysses S. Grant (The man in my Avatar), Robert Lee ... etc.

I think this actually got put on hold for the time being. Spielberg wants to do Indy IV before tackling this project.

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28

Screw this historical crap and screw Indianna Jones. I think they should just make "Action Lincoln" starring Hugh Jackman portraying Abe's violent 20-something years. GOLDMINE!!

Tyler Durden

I liked Lincoln's performance in the "Gay Bar" music video, but I've not seen him anything else
