Feb 1 2010Steven Spielberg Never Going To Make That Lincoln Biopic He's Always Talking About
Seriously, he will never do it. Just throw that phony jawline beard away, Liam Neeson.
Instead, it sounds like Steven Spielberg (director of Twilight Zone: The Movie segment 2 and the documentary short The Unfinished Journey) may be moving on to a biopic on George Gershwin, which would seem to indicate the director thinks writing a bunch of music is more important than ending slavery (that's the only conclusion I can draw from the decision).
Deadline Hollywood says Zachary Quinto will play the composer, and has word that accent and dialogue coaches are already working with New Spock for a possible April shoot.
Personally, I don't know much about the life of Gershwin, so I'm just going to assume Gershwin had some sort of sci-fi adventure or archeological expedition that will make for another Spielberg blockbuster.

It's easy, any time Spielberg wants to win Oscars he has to make a movie about jews, it's the only way the academy will give him an award. Lincoln, not a jew, Gershwin, ken.
