This will be a series of posts commenting on various pieces of interesting movie and TV news that I glean from the interwebs. The first one is short and sweet.
Daniel Day-Lewis to play Abe Lincoln
Spielberg has long been rumored to be working on a biopic of Abe Lincoln. At one point, Liam Neeson was rumored to play the 16th President. Apparently, that has changed. I was excited about Mr. Neeson playing President Lincoln, but I am ECSTATIC about Mr. Day-Lewis playing him instead. Mr. Day-Lewis is known as a method actor, one who stays in character even when not filming. I have yet to see a bad movie with Mr. Day-Lewis, so I think this is definitely one to watch.
Wild Wild West Coming back to TV
Yes, before the Will Smith movie, there was a TV show called Wild Wild West. I've seen only one episode of it, but I loved it. For those of you who don't know, its about a US Marshall and his gadget creating sidekick solving the mysteries of the Old West. I am VERY excited about this, and if they can pull it off as well as the Hawaii 5-0 reboot has been done, this is another must watch.
I think Liam has a more Lincoln look to him although Lewis will do a hell of a job. Daniel Day Lewis is the best there is for historical movies with a guy who yells a lot.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Liam having the Lincoln look. I'm worried that Daniel Day Lewis will overplay the part, but I think with Spielberg as director it will all work out in the end.
