Sally Field has been cast to play the wife of Abraham Lincoln opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in the upcoming film from Steven Spielberg, Lincoln.

Two-time Academy Award winner Sally Field will star as Mary Todd Lincoln, wife to the 16th President of the United States, in DreamWorks Studios’ “Lincoln” to be directed by Steven Spielberg. The announcement was made today by Spielberg and Stacey Snider, Co-Chairman and CEO of DreamWorks Studios…

Here’s what she had to say about it:

“To have the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis and to play one of the most complicated and colorful women in American history is simply as good as it gets,” said Sally Field.

Sally is finally going back to the big screen after her years in television, I’m glad she took the role! She’ll probably be brilliant. This movie promises to be a big one, talk about a story that hasn’t been told well on the big screen. Expect the film to come out sometime next year, I’m guessing it’ll be this holiday season.

Here’s the full trailer for the upcoming film from Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams Super 8.

Ok so now we at least know the movie isn’t about 8 superheroes. This trailer gives just enough without revealing too much, I’m looking forward to this now. Seems like a great concept in very capable hands!

Here’s the Super 8 teaser shown during Superbowl XVL from producer Steven Spielberg and director J.J. Abrams!

This one has been kept tightly under wraps, which is a little strange considering it’s June 10th, 2011 release date. It definitely has a bit of a Spielberg feel to it. This one should be good.

Steven Spielberg is bringing Falling Skies to TNT starring Noah Wyle from E.R.

From the preview, it could simply be described as The Walking Dead with Aliens. I do hope there is a more substantial difference than that when it finally airs in June 2011. Here is the official synopsis:

In FALLING SKIES, Wyle stars as a former college professor who becomes the leader of a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. [Moon] Bloodgood co-stars as Anne Glass, a therapist who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic situation. The series also stars Drew Roy (Lincoln Heights) as Hal and Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tom’s two sons; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps run the group’s commissary. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNT’s Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance.

It has a very similiar feel to AMC’s Dead, don’t you think?

Steven Spielberg will be directing a movie called Robopocalypse.

Steven Spielberg has committed to next direct Robopocalypse, a Drew Goddard-scripted adaptation of the Daniel H. Wilson epic novel about the human race’s attempt to survive an apocalyptic robot uprising.

It won’t be shooting until 2012, therefore it won’t be out until 2013, but when a big director like Spielberg commits to something like this It becomes big news. Hope it’s not just another War of The Worlds with Robots.

A feature film about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. is finally going to be written for the screen by Oscar Nominated screenwriter Ronald Harwood.

Stacey Snider and Steven Spielberg’s Martin Luther King Jr. feature project is finally moving forward. The DreamWorks Studios toppers have hired Oscar-winning playwright and screenwriter Ronald Harwood (”The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”) to pen a biographical screenplay about the slain civil rights leader.

Harwood is a strong choice for the assignment. His script work on “The Dresser,” “Butterfly” and “The Pianist” earned him Oscar nominations, with the last taking the prize. And at 75 years old, the South Africa-born writer lived through the late 1950’s and ’60’s, when King’s oratory and influence inspired a massive civil rights movement until his murder in 1968.

Sounds great, it will be interesting to see how this film develops. I wonder who they will cast to play MLK? I’ll keep you posted on the happenings, it’s obviously pretty early to tell much. It’s good to hear that they have a solid writer who lived through that era.

The raved about new horror film Paranormal Activity would probably never have made it into the main stream had Steven Spielberg not experience a little haunting of his own after watching the film.

It was early 2008, and the director’s DreamWorks studio was trying to decide whether it wanted to be a part of the micro-budgeted supernatural thriller. As the story goes, Spielberg had taken a “Paranormal Activity” DVD to his Pacific Palisades estate, and not long after he watched it, the door to his empty bedroom inexplicably locked from the inside, forcing him to summon a locksmith.

While Spielberg didn’t want the “Paranormal Activity” disc anywhere near his home — he brought the movie back to DreamWorks in a garbage bag, colleagues say — he very much shared his studio’s enthusiasm for director Oren Peli’s haunting story about the demonic invasion of a couple’s suburban tract house.

I love that he returned the movie in a garbage bag, as if touching it would bring demons to bother him. It’s a pretty freaky little film, if you haven’t seen it yet and want to be too scared to go to sleep, go check it out. Few films achieve this level of spooky-ness these days.

Harrison Ford is all about taking on the next Indiana Jones film as he told People Magazine:

Harrison Ford told France’s Le Figaro (via People) that “the story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.”

I really hope the next one doesn’t have any aliens, and maybe they can tone down the cheesy factor.

Steven Spielberg is set to direct his next film, and it’s a remake of the classic film Harvey.

Steven Spielberg has committed to direct, as his next film, “Harvey,” an adaptation of the Mary Chase Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a man — played by Jimmy Stewart in the 1950 film version — who befriends a 6½-foot-tall invisible rabbit.

Spielberg aims to begin production early next year, so the helmer is expected to reach out to a handful of top stars, most notably Tom Hanks and Will Smith, to find someone whose availability meshes with the planned start dates.

The original Jimmy Stewart version is one of my absolute favorite old films, I wonder who will be cast as the lead in this one.
