Holy hell! That man makes a damn fine Abraham Lincoln!

We already knew Daniel Day-Lewis was going to rock it for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, but wow.

We're probably going to forget it's hm after the first minute he's on the screen. Sources say he hasn't even changed his accent for months!

Now you do!

In a new interview, one of the greatest directors of our time reveals that he almost had one of his most iconic films end much differently than it actually did. It was Steven Spielberg's dream to make Indiana Jones, but he admits now that the first flick, Raiders of The Lost Ark, could have turned out a whole lot differently.

We all know the ending - a bunch of other-worldy spirits come out of the ark through the sand and do away with all those pesky Nazis - but that wasn't the original ending of the of the script and Steven reveals he had serious doubts about the ending when it was first in post. He said:

Fedora? Check. Whip? Check. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones? Big Check.

The 69 year old actor is set to return as the daring archaeologist for a fifth Indiana Jones film.

Filiming is set to begin in 2012 and Ford will be 70 by the time filming starts.

In 2008, Ford was 66 when he filmed the fourth flick, Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. George Lucas is currently writing the story and Steven Spielberg is set to collaborate.

Why can't Tintin be released here yet?!

The Steven Spielberg-Peter Jackson film, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, had the highest grossing opening for an animated film in the history of India.

The film raked in 73.5 million rupees (about 1.46 million in U.S. dollars) this past weekend, beating Kung Fu Panda 2 by 20 million rupees.

The numbers are even more staggering as Tintin had to compete against the Indian film, Rockstar, which grossed 640 million rupees (12.7 million) and the animation genre is still growing in India.

The film was released in Hindi and English with over 350 prints ordered throughout the country, breaking another record.

This performance is also the highest grossing of ANY of Spielberg's films in India.

Unfortunately, the Americans have to wait until December 21, 2011 before the film is screened in the States

Saying it's hard to keep a franchise going strong is an understatement!

But Steven Spielberg definitely seems into it. Especially with pal George Lucas by his side.

They're both currently working on Indiana Jones 5, and he assures us George has all the sauce:

Steven Spielberg has given a fan a job, but not just some random dude who likes his movies or anything.

No, James Curran did something a little more creative: he created an entire opening credit sequence for TinTin using his motion design skills and put it online.

Somehow it got into Steven's hands, who then invited James to the premiere of TinTin and promptly offered him a job on his next movie (which we're assuming is Robopocalypse)!

HOW COOL IS THAT??

We're sure everyone out there is super jealous and we can imagine this has lit a sense of creative urgency in some to make things that they love and believe in — because who knows who's watching??

Love it! Good luck with the job, James!

Who cares how old you are — it's never too late to find love!

And Robin Williams has done just that! At 60 years old, he has just married Susan Schneider at the Meadowood Resort.

This is his third marriage, but we hope it's the right one!

In attendance were his three kids, and a slew of celebs — rumored to include: Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Billy Crystal!

Sounds like a fab time!

Congrats, Robin and Susan!
