Just quietly, whilst I don't think anybody these days thinks it would happen - I'm pretty sure one phonecall from the Berg saying they're moving forward with the project would be enough to get Neeson to re-consider.
It has been a while since we have given an update on Steven Spielbergs planned Abraham Lincoln biopic. In that time Robert Redford has already shot his own Lincoln film The Conspirator, while Spielbergs film, titled Lincoln hasnt made it from off the starting block.
It now seems that Spielbergs Lincoln project truly dead, or very close to it. This news comes from the intended star of the film Liam Neeson as he dropped the project-killing news that he would not longer be a part of it while he was in London publicizing The A-Team.
Neeson was on This Morning, a daily magazine show with director Joe Carnahan discussing his 80s television show
adaptation when he was asked about the Spielberg film. The Irish actor had this to say:
Im not actually playing Lincoln now. I was attached to it for a while, but its now - Im past my sell-by date.
