2. He's had a movie about Abe in the writing stage for a bit: Liam Neeson is attatched to play him

3. Interesting...

any idea what the angle is, what period of his life, etc? I wonder if they're going to film any of it in D.C., I work there, and sometimes it's kind of cool to see them film those period films.

Liam Neeson is an interesting choice for that part, he'd probably do a good job though. I wonder who will play Mary?

4. according to IMDB, Marcia Gay Harden is the choice for Mary

It's based on Doris Kearns Goodwins book about Lincoln. I think I've heard alot about it dealing heavily with Lincoln during or after the Civil War, but I'm not sure at all about the outline.
