Harrison Ford To Play Andrew Johnson In Spielberg S Lincoln

Harrison Ford To Play Andrew Johnson In Spielberg’s Lincoln? By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 5, 2008 5:39 pm EST Over at Chud, there is a crazy-eyed-killah of a rumor going around that Harrison Ford is in cahoots with Steven Spielberg to star in his upcoming Lincoln, an ambitious film set to unravel the mystery behind the popular children’s toy. Ford is purported to have a droopy eye on the role of Andrew Johnson, the 17th American president (and not Lincoln as parodied in the photo to the right), who took office after the 16th was assassinated by a mustachioed thespian....

Julia Stiles Also In The Running For Spider-Man 4 By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 17, 2009 1:40 pm EST Sure, Rachel McAdams has denied being cast in Spider-Man 4 as Black Cat, and Sony Pictures calls the web reports mearly “internet rumor”, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a bit of truth to the story. UGO has learned that Julia Stiles has met with a casting company in New York City to discuss joining Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4, and we’re pretty confident the role is still that of Peter Parker’s love interest/antagnonist Black Cat....
