Something new coming up.

http://showcase.netins.net/web/creat...news/movie.htm

With maybe Tom Hanks playing Lincoln's 'darker' side?

Neil,
All those incense you been burning must have done their work. I hope you realize I am not quite jumping up and down. Especially with Spielberg at the helm. I did get a chuckle out of the Michelle Pfeiffer as Mary. There's an idea.

Tommy!

I'm shocked! You don't think Hollywood will get this one 'right?'

PS I got a chuckle out of Michelle Pfeiffer as Mary too!

Michelle is too slender (and pretty) to play Mary. They need a more matronly looking actress.

Spielburg, eh... maybe they should call it "Raiders of the Lost Abe." Harrison Ford could have a cameo as that famous ancestor of Indiana Jones... Illinois Jones!

Cheer up, Alphabilly, maybe Stephie will take up Jefferson Davis next.
