Four score and seven years, Liam Neeson was attached to Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln biopic.
After 5 years, Neeson decided it was time to leave Spielberg’s project. Here’s what he had to say on the subject:
“I’m not actually playing Lincoln now. I was attached to it for a while, but now I’m past my sell-by date.├óΓé¼┬¥
Neeson may no longer be wearing the beard, but it looks like we’ll still be able to get our President Liam fix with his role as Lyndon B. Johnson in Lee Daniels’ upcoming civil rights drama Selma.
Who will be the new Abraham Lincoln? Here are some ideas to play around with:
-Brolinham Lincoln – Josh Brolin may be morally ambiguous, but he could probably pull off the look. Imagine him with the massive beard.
-Bridgesham Lincoln – After Crazy Heart and the upcoming Tron: Legacy, Jeff Bridges seems to be a hot commodity. Plus, how cool would it be to see ├óΓé¼┼ôThe Dude├óΓé¼┬¥ as our 16th president? The Big Lincolnbowski anyone?
-Bieberham Lincoln – Okay, maybe not for the WHOLE movie, but Justin Bieber could be a totally awesome choice for flashback scenes.
Who would you cast to replace Abraham Neeson?
