"So the Lincoln shoot will take place in between."

Yes, well -- sic semper tyrannus.

Of course, this being Spielberg, the real brains of the outfit will be the Lincoln children, who live in a horribly dysfunctional home. Lincoln himself will be portrayed as a villain, an uncaring father incapable of feeling anything for his children or his wife, and a lout that no one likes or respects.

Lincoln is an historically fascinating figure, politically astute. Wasn’t it Kearns Goodwin who made allegations Lincoln was gay?

In the new flick, John Wilkes Booth shoots Abe Lincoln and cries out “I drink your milkshake!”

Spielberg’s Lincoln will be a homosexual who really wanted to free the slaves in 1861 and start the NAALCP but was prevented from doing so by lies that led us into war by George W. Bush’s great grandfather.

He also will have found to have had a sexual relationship with a black male butler who really wrote the Gettysburg Address which was actually delivered by someone else.

Can’t wait to see it.

This is going to be great. I can’t wait to see how Lincoln and ET save the Jews and Indiana Jones in space!

I want a sweeping biopic of George Washington, a 3-part series: His early years up to the French and Indian War; Washington throughout the Revolutionary War; and Washington as President until his death. If Hollywood could produce this - I don’t care if it is 3D or CGI - it would be the highest grossing trilogy in movie history.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I don’t know about gay, bu the Spielberg Lincoln most definitely will be a Democrat and the Southern slave owners will be Republicans.

Day-Lewis should be fantastic, it usually takes a foreigner to really appreciate just how fantastic this country and some of its leaders have been.

P.S. Ace the earrings Daniel!

[convertedtoreason]

Whatever!

I REALLY DON’T TRUST SPIELBERG AND THE SCREENPLAY WRITER.

The resulting story could lead to more revisionism in history, especially now that many Americans can nolonger distinguish between “HISTORY” and “ADULTERATED NON-FICTION”.

I JUST DON’T TRUST ANYTHING THAT CAME FROM HOLLOWEIRD.

[Spok]

My guide for movies is that poor history is better than good fiction, and anything with lots of horses is better than either.

[fish hawk]

Perfect pic. Daniel will be good as Abe. Put a beard on him with a cheek mole and there you go.

After seeing him in some recent movies & KNOWING the Lincoln flick was in works, I thought Sean Penn a dead ringer visually for Abe. And despite all.. think Sean is an excellent actor

I like DDL, but seeing him as Lincoln reminds me of how he had a cow years ago when there was talk about Julia Roberts playing Shakespeare's wife. An American playing the Bard's wife??? This from the man who had just played (or would just play) Natty Bumpo. And now he's Lincoln? Couldn't find an American?

Next we'll be getting a European actress to play a top U.S. government agent with bionic body parts and ... oh, waitaminute ...
