Liam Neeson Resigns from the Lincoln Presidency
Sun, August 1, 2010 
There goes Mr. Lincoln.
For a couple of years, Liam Neeson was attached to play our sixteenth president in a biopic to directed by Steven Spielberg, co-starring Sally Field as the First Lady and written by Tony Kushner. I even recall a press release announcing a February 2009 release. Obviously that came and went with no movie on screens.
Neeson tells Digital Spy he’s calling it a day on working with the Beard again (at least on this project):
"I'm not actually playing Lincoln now. I was attached to it for a while, but it's now I'm past my sell-by date."
Spielberg is about to begin production on his latest Warhorse for release next August. There's no indication just where (and when) Lincoln fits into his current schedule.
