"Melancholy dripped from him as he walked"

I'm really quite interested to see how Liam Neeson will hold up playing the main man Abraham Lincoln himself. In a recent interview with Movies.ie, Leeson said that he has been gearing himself up for the role for the past four years, ever since Steven originally asked him. Leeson has apparently been studying the great man and whilst he says he isn't scared of the big role but admits he is nervous "with this one". As the film keeps getting postponed, the book presumably get stacked back on Neeson's shelf...Early signs are that Neeson really is going to be taking this role incredibly seriously, which I'm really pleased to hear.
