Romão 2,274 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I just read this:http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/366/366339p1.htmlThis movie was a almost sure colaboration between John Williams and Tim Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Over at Spielbergfilms.com, Steve A. doesn't seem to put much credibility in this. I hope he is right.Sounds like boxoffice poison. Not a film that I would be itching to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 2 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hanks wouldn't be any more an unlikely choice than Henry Fonda, and he did all right by him, in Young Mr. Lincoln. Still, if Hanks were to play the mature Abe, complete with 19th century-style guaranteed-babe-magnet-without-the-mustache beard, at the very least it would be his funniest role since Philadelphia.Whatever happened to Raymond Massey, anyway? Or that guy who played him in Bill and Ted? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Whoever greenlighted this movie needs a bullet hole in his head deeper than Lincoln's. What the hell will they think of next? Wait I don't want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Isn't it supposed to be some revision thing? What exactly are they revising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 2 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Abe Lincoln is a boozing whoremaster. In the most gratuitous scene, he and Ulysses Grant take two sets of twins in the Oval Office, while Teresa Carreno plays Listen to the Mockingbird (Lincoln's favorite song) at the piano. Randy Quaid stars as Grant.Figo, who thinks if this movie gets made we definitely need an Abe Lincoln emoticon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted August 2, 2002 Author Share Posted August 2, 2002 What's so wrong about a Lincon biopic? I'm not even american, but that's a movie I would like to see, specially with Spielberg directing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 2 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I would love to see a movie about Lincoln, but not with Hanks.Oh well, he's a better choice than Michael Keaton. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 After Lincoln, Spielberg will do Elanor Roosevelt and Women in Sensible Shoes.He can explore themes he didn't dare in the Color Purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Here is a sneak peak of a portion of the script.In the Oval Office, Winston Churchill and Franklin.Franklin, now that you are confined to the damned chair, why do you insist on keeping those canes.Its not me Winston, Eleanor absolutely will not allow me to get rid of them.Rosie O. may play the younger E. while Kathy Bates is in talks to play the older E.Joe :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figo 2 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 eek2 Joe, you are .Figo, who can't wait for the scene where Eleanor goes mano-a-mano with Rosie the Rivettor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
