Hot off of the set of the fourth Indiana Jones film, Steven Spielberg refuses to relax.
Now that he's tackled the latest adventures of Jones and company (that sadly but unsurprisingly does not include Sean Connery), Spielberg promises to finally focus on a biopic of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, a project that has been on the director's back-burner for nearly seven years. It's possible that the movie may begin shooting as soon as 2009, since the script has already been written by Tony Kushner.
Liam Neeson is said to be on board to take on the formidable role of Lincoln, which might prove to be a bit of a head scratch since Neeson was born and bred in Ireland and Lincoln grew up in Illinois. But hey, that's why they call it acting, right?
