Civil War for the day

For what seems like forever, director Steven Spielberg has talked about wanting to do a biopic of Abraham Lincoln from a script by playwright Tony Kushner. But, for the past decade, Spielberg has instead focused on other projects, though Liam Neeson remained committed to playing our sixteenth president. When Neeson announced this summer that he was finally leaving the project, that seemed to be the end of it ever happening, but now the film is very much back on track, and Daniel Day-Lewis is going to play Lincoln.
The film, based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals biography about Lincoln's battles with his White House Cabinet during the Civil War between 1861-1865, profiles the clashes brought about by the nation's turmoil. Reports have it that Spielberg will be shooting the film in the fall of next year.

Rico says he awaits this eagerly, and thinks Mr. Day-Lewis is an even better choice than Mr. Neeson...
