Another Spielberg film Project...

In an earlier posrt on this blog...I wrote how Spielberg had many many films lined up along with his War Horse film which will be out right slap bang in the middle of award season (so says Empire Magazine).

Lincoln which Dreamworks are going to distribute is a movie that has been adapted by Tony Kushner who has also write the screenplay for this. The film is based on the bestselling biography that was written by the historian Doris Kearns Goodwin about America's 16th president. Daniel-Day-Lewis has already been cast as Abraham Lincoln as well as Sally Field who will play Abraham's wife...in case your not sure who she is she plays Norah Walker in Brothers and Sisters.

Also cast are:
  • Tommy Lee Jones
  • Joseph Gordan-Levitt
  • James Spader he was the doctor in Stargate the film that Kurt Russell was in and you may or may not have seen him in Boston Legal.
  • John Hawkes he was in Miam i Vice as Alonso who killed himself as his undercover operation goes bad and the bad guys kidnap his wife Leonetta.
  • Bruce McGill was in 'The Cinderella Man' as the guy who takes away Russel Crowe's character's boxing license away. Or if you didn't see that film then you might have seen him in 'Law Abiding Citizen'.
  • Tim Blake Nelson was in another Russel Crowe film 'Virtuosity' as the computer programmer who creates Russel Crowe's evil computer character and wants to make him come alive and into society but he bases him on loads of psycotic criminals.
  • Hal Holbrook he starred alongside Charlie Sheen in the first film about Gordan Geccoh and had Michael Douglas in as this character.
And now it's been confirmed that David Strathairn who you might have seen as Noah Vosa in 'The Bourne Ultimatum' alongside Matt Damon. This film has been schedueld to start shooting in the autumn and will set to be released in late 2012.
