The casting news was included in a piece about the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum’s special exhibit, “Mary Todd Lincoln: First Lady of Controversy,” which explores the possibility that Mary Todd Lincoln may have suffered from mental illness.<br /> <span class="inline left"></span><br /> Newsweek states that Spielberg's project will be based on the Doris Kearns Goodwin book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Team-Rivals-Political-Abraham-Lincoln/dp/0743270754/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2971324-9002539?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1190671687&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln</a>. Of course, production will have to wait until filming wraps on the fourth Indiana Jones movie, <b>The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull</b>. Personally, I'm excited for this. I don't think Field has had a complex, meaty film role in many years, and I look forward to seeing her on the big screen again, even if <a href="http://popsugar.com/619047" >she doesn't think she has time for anything but "Brothers &amp; Sisters."</a></p> <p>Field and Neeson photos <a href="http://wireimage.com" target="_blank">source</a></p> http://www.buzzsugar.com/Sally-Field-Liam-Neeson-Set-Spielberg-Helmed-Lincoln-Biopic-653729#comment Steven Spielberg Sally Field Team of Rivals Abraham Lincoln Mary Todd Lincoln Liam Neeson Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:30:00 PDT BuzzSugar http://www.buzzsugar.com/Sally-Field-Liam-Neeson-Set-Spielberg-Helmed-Lincoln-Biopic-653729 http://www.buzzsugar.com/Sally-Field-Play-Mary-Todd-Lincoln-15691637 <a href="http://www.buzzsugar.com/Sally-Field-Play-Mary-Todd-Lincoln-15691637"><img width=112 height=160 src='http://media2.onsugar.com/files/2011/04/15/4/192/1922283/f6ad948a294fd5af_SallyField41410.large.jpg' /></a><p></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://blog.moviefone.com/2011/04/14/bradley-cooper-the-crow-casting-bad-idea/" onclick="trackOutboundLink('###CATEGORY###', 'blog.moviefone.com/2011/04/14/bradley-cooper-the-crow-casting-bad-idea/', '###LABEL###')" target="_blank">20 reasons why casting Bradley Cooper as The Crow is a bad idea</a> -
