Will Steven Spielberg film 'Lincoln' in Taunton?
Folks out in nearby Taunton are buzzing over rumors that a film-location
scout met with the Silver City's economic development director, Dick
Shafer, to check out the area for an epic production about the Civil War
and our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln.
While the director and the production remain unconfirmed, Shafer tells the
Taunton Call that it's “a famous director, somebody as big as Scorsese."
Based on the info, the Taunton paper strongly believes that mega-director
Steven Spielberg has sent out scouts for his announced film "Lincoln," a
movie based on historian Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book, “Team of Rivals:
The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.” According to IMDB, Liam Neeson
who worked with Spielberg on "Schindler's List" and Sally Field as Mary
Todd Lincoln are rumored to be tied to the project slotted for a 2011
release.
The Three Mile River area, Old Colony Historical Society and the 620
Spring Street Industrial Complex in North Dighton (slotted for demolition)
were checked out by the LA-based scout.
As I report here for the NYC-based Contentinople, Spielberg is currently
scrambling to find a distributor for DreamWorks SKG after Universal
announced on Friday that they have "ended discussions" with his boutique
production company.
