IMDB tells us that the film is about “two sisters [who] find their relationship challenged as a nearby planet threatens to collide into the Earth.” The film even earned a coveted Palme d’Or nomination at this year’s […] Read more
Steven Spielberg has been talking about doing an Abraham Lincoln biopic for years now, so it’s great that he’s finally gearing up to tackle the project with the already announced Daniel Day-Lewis as the man himself and Sally Field as Lincoln’s wife, Mary Todd.
