Production
In 2001, Steven Spielberg acquired the rights to Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography of Lincoln, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln with the intent of using it as the basis for a film. John Logan was hired to write the script, and playwright Paul Webb and Tony Kushner rewrote it. Liam Neeson was cast as Abraham Lincoln in January 2005, while Sally Field was cast as Mary Todd Lincoln in September 2007. As part of his preparation for the role, Neeson read twenty-two books about the president, as well as his personal writings. He also visited Ford's Theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated. However, in July 2010, Neeson left the project, saying that he was 'too old to play the former commander-in-chief'. In November 2010, it was announced that Daniel Day-Lewis was cast in the role. Filming is expected to begin in the fall of 2011 for release in the fourth quarter of 2012 through Disney’s Touchstone distribution label.
