LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Steven Spielberg says he isn't upset Robert Redford's Abraham Lincoln film will be released before his own movie about the 16th president of the United States.
Spielberg has been developing his Lincoln film for several years with Northern Irish actor Liam Neeson attached to play the lead. The movie, which had been temporarily sidelined due to budget and location issues, will be about the president's frustration regarding the length of the Civil War, Variety.com said.
The independent film Redford is directing, on the other hand, reportedly is to be about a woman charged with conspiring to kill Lincoln.
"We are very happy that Redford will be doing this Lincoln movie," Spielberg told the entertainment industry trade newspaper. "It is completely different from what our DreamWorks Lincoln movie will be and we believe that it will add to the commercial potential of our film. Lincoln as a subject is inexhaustible."
