Steven Spielberg, Liam Neeson | featured news

For many years, Liam Neeson was attached to star in Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln biopic, which would reteam Neeson with the filmmaker who helped take him to an Oscar nomination for his role in Schindler's List . The casting seemed perfect because the resemblance is uncanny and Neeson is one of the most respected actors in the industry, but it now looks like the project will have to look for another star. Neeson told the site Digital Spy recently he's no longer attached to the project essentially because it's been taking too long since his name was first mentioned.

Word is Liam Neeson is attached to play Abe, Sally Field as Mrs. Lincoln -- but who do you see as the assassin?
