Yes I wonder also, there are not that many 6 foot 4 actors around with Liam's acting skills that could pull such a role.

Touche.
I just think that a no-name actor who's a dead ringer should be cast. Or as I always say...pull a Star Wars. Then again, I had negative thoughts about Heath when I first heard that he was gonna be the next Joker. look how well he did.

I usualy also wonder about the castings of movie sometimes and I was right there with you with Heath Ledger for Joker, I went like WHAT?? But he sure made me eat my words In this case I think it's a great choice, Neeson is a very outstanding actor and I believe he can pull this off.

i think no-name actors are a bit of a gamble. just because they are a dead ringer for lincoln doesn't mean they can act to save their lives. though speilberg does manage to cast no-names a lot with great success. he's got that touch.

That's what I was banking on. If he pulled that off, Spielberg would be back on the map. Just more spectacular to me that way. I think Liam Neeson (as great as he is) will be too much of a distraction for me.

I look forward to the film. Would Frank Langella be a good alternative as Lincoln? He is a fine actor, would go from playing Nixon to Lincoln, and he is 6' 3" tall.

I wouldn't worry much. Neeson is actually an actor that can act.

imdb states 2011. We would have gotten a trailer for it by now if it was going to be released this year.

we wouldn't get a trailer if the movie hasn't even been shot yet

the point of the article is that the movie may be fast tracked IF it is green lit, and to therefore expect a December release. imdb is not definitive and changes all the time based on a movie's situation. they listed superman returns sequel as 2008 with everyone attached at one point

This could be very good. Liam is awesome.
