Re: "...Speilberg is making a movie about Lincoln..."
Word in Hollywood is that Steven is now in the casting process.
After hot tempered and seemingly never ending script-reading auditions, production is soon to announce its choice for the role of Lincoln.
Rumoured to be Spielberg's top choice is actor Paul Reubens, though financial backers are pressing for a more proven box-office draw like the Reverend Al Sharpton or Vin Diesel.
The script, based on exhaustive research into every event surrounding Lincoln's life, focuses on Lincoln's "making contact with his true inner self" as a closeted trans-sexual, his years as a young lawyer in Illinois and his court defense of a devout Muslim jihadist on trial for the honor killing of his wife and 11 children, and then moves to Lincoln's frustrating War years; paying particular attention to "Mary" Todd Lincoln's hiding the fact that she was really a "he", while her husband stalked the streets of Washington disguised as an octaroon.
Stay tuned for a box office smash!
