LINCOLN

[Matt]

It's officially Spielberg's next film and Daniel Day Lewis is taking over the lead.

Seriously, this is the best movie news that we've had in a long, long time. DDL taking over now that Liam Neeson has departed the project is...almost perfection personified.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS.

[Ed Hocken]

We haven't had a Lincoln related movie since Young Mr. Lincoln.

It's been too goddamn long!

God, someone over on DERP made the comment that Paul Dano should play JW Booth and get his cinematic revenge. That would honestly be too perfect to exist in our mortal realm.

[Ed Hocken]

I don't remember JW Booth having the face shaped like a ham.

Xander Berekly to play US Grant. Either him, or Michael Rooker.

And who would play Sherman?

[Anderson]

Daniel Craig is also circling this. Plus, Ford hasn't dropped out as a contender yet.

For what roles?

For what roles?

Giamatti was approached for Stephen Douglas. Craig for unknown role. Ford for John Breckinridge.

This sounds amazing.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'd rather see a Teddy Roosevelt flick. That has him time traveling. With a talking cane.

[Ed Hocken]

There was supposed to be a TR flick with Scorsese directing.

Nick Meyer even wrote a script for it.

I have been after that script and the Dean Martin script for ages.

So who plays Uncle Tom?

Going from Neeson to Day Lewis for Honest Abe is like upgrading from a bacon cheeseburger to filet mignon. Plus the Beard going back to a more grown-up project (a la Munich) is something to look forward to.
