It’s always a good day to hear about a great filmmaker and a great actor collaborating on a project together. It looks like the genius of Steven Spielberg and the talent of Liam Neeson (probably the most underrated actor of our generation) are getting together to bring us a film on Abraham Lincoln.
The good folks at Coming Soon offer up this little tid bit:
The DreamWorks movie will be based on a bio being written by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. That book will be published next fall, under the title “The Uniter: The Genius of Abraham Lincoln.”
Neeson, who received a Golden Globe nomination for Kinsey and next appears in Kingdom of Heaven and Batman Begins, earned an Oscar nomination for playing Oskar Schindler in Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.
Let’s see, a top notch director, a fantastic actor and great source material. Sounds like a winner to me.
