Seeing as how February 12, 2009, is Honest Abe's 200th birthday, it seems fitting to start a thread about Spielberg's long-delayed film project Lincoln.
Any news, gossip, rumors that Done Dealers care to share? Steven has gone through three screenwriters already: John Logan (hack - was he fired?), Paul Webb (newbie - and a rather curious choice, being English), and Tony Kushner (pro - probably should have been the go-to guy from the get-go), and there's still no movie in sight.
Are there working drafts by any of the above scribes floating around that could be sent my way?
Besides John Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln (largely fiction), there isn't a decent film about #16 that I can watch today to commemorate the occasion.
