    Old News Made New Again: Sally Field Joins Spielberg's Lincoln

    DateWed, April 13, 2011

    Sally Field has been attached to Lincoln for the last four years, and not two as I thought.

    Thus we're not talking about a casting item coming out of nowhere. Surprised I've yet to hear anyone comment out loud about how this is old news. (Correction: I see Latino Review noticed too! Thank God I wasn't the only one!) That said after Liam Neeson left the planned biopic and the near radio silence of the project after the genuinely surprising casting of Daniel Day Lewis as our nation's 16th President, I was starting to wonder if Lincoln was headed towards the same path as Trial of the Chicago 7.

    So DreamWorks sending out a press release this afternoon re-confirming Field as First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln is ultimately a good thing. It appears everything is still on schedule for the Beard to start filming this fall with a "fourth quarter of 2012" release. Translation: next Christmas.
