Whit AlexanderSpielberg, Lincoln, Neeson. A Holy Trinity.

As reported at IGN, Steven Spielberg will begin working on Lincoln this spring, with Liam Neeson in the lead role. Producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marhsall have been working on the project for "four or five years", with Tony Kushner (Munich, Angels In America) writing the script.
I'm incredibly excited about this. Not necessarily because of the whole Obama-Lincoln thing that's going around, which will probably be gone by the time the film comes out. Nor is it because of Spielberg, who, despite being due a return to form, hasn't done much for me since Catch Me If You Can. No, it's Liam Neeson's return to glory, hopefully, that I'm all jazzed about. He's truly a fantastic actor, I believe, but it feels like he hasn't really been used to his utmost since Schindler's List, which was, if my math is correct, about four score and seven years ago. I apologize, that was the best joke I could think of at the moment. Hopefully this will make up for it:
