• Spielberg’s Lincoln gets Gordon-Levitt and Tommy Lee Jones (among others).

    We don’t usually do cast updates here, but this one is too juicy to resist. Let me provide you with a quick look at the current cast for Steven Spielberg’s long-waited Lincoln. We already know that Daniel Day-Lewis will be giving the Oscar-winning performance of that year as Abraham Lincoln (replacing Liam Neeson) and Sally Field will be playing his wife Mary Todd. Ace Showbiz has the rest of the confirmed cast as well as those in negotiations. Take a look at the confirmed actors:

  • Tommy Lee Jones (as PA representative and abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens)
  • Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Abe’s son Robert Todd)
  • Jeremy Strong (Abe’s right hand man John George Nicolay)
  • John Hawkes
  • Hal Holbrook
  • James Spader
  • Tim Blake Nelson
  • Bruce McGilland
  • Joseph Cross
  • Currently in negotiations are David Costabile, Byron Jennings, Dakin Matthews, Boris McGiver, Gloria Reuben, and David Warshofsky. Toss in that the screenplay is scribed by Munich screenwriter Tony Kushner and we definitely have ourselves a monster of a movie to look forward to.
