A non-update for Lincoln, the movie

Screenwriter Tony Kushner says his script for Spielberg's "Lincoln" is "deep in revisions" and declines to project a next milestone.

Star Liam Neeson has been left hanging:
"I don't know (anything) other than what you know," he admitted. "He asked me four years ago would I play this part and I most certainly said I would. He'll do it whenever he's ready to do it, but it's in the works."
No sign of Doris Kearns Goodwin either whose rights to Team of Rivals were sold to Spielberg.

Meanwhile, a film buff puts things into the broader view:
I'm going to take this opportunity to mention how depressing it is that Spielberg's two upcoming projects are films that I don't really care about.
