Honestly Abe, Spielberg doesn't care about you
Filed under: RumorMonger, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Steven Spielberg
According to Hollywood Elsewhere, who spoke
with Steven Spielberg's publicist Marvin Levy (a/k/a The son of God),
the filmmaker's much-talked about Abraham Lincoln biopic is officially up in the air. The film, which was supposed to
star Liam Neeson and begin shooting in just a few months, took an
abrupt detour and landed in limbo land.
For those millions of teenage girls who adore Abe Lincoln, this news make come as a bit of a bummer. However, for you Indy 4 fanatics, Spielberg tossing this one aside may mean he's gearing up for a possible early start date with Indiana Jones and the Curse of 63-year-old Harrison Ford. Hmm, Indy or Abe? I wonder who would win in a fight?
Some feel the decision was made because Spielberg wanted to take some time off and wax his Oscars, though fans of the popular Indy franchise would like to view this as a sign of good things to come. Would any of you be drastically upset should honest Abe not get his big day in the spotlight? (Note to History Channel employees: I'm not asking you).

i'd like to see a young Abraham Lincoln in an action movie, a la "League of Extraordinary Gentleman".
perhaps team him up with a young Robert Lee, with a moral or ethical decision driving a wedge between them, causing a much ignored undertone to the politics during the civil war era.

I'd have to say that in a fight Honest Abe would win. Because who's king of the cage?

Ryan,
It usually works if you add a space after the link instead of a break.

That's pretty interesting considering Harrison Ford is going to be starring in yet another Lincoln flick, Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer (but, not as Lincoln).

P.S. Love the King of Cage!
