We'll have to see if this one gets confirmed or not, as it's definitely a rumor for now. According to scooper 'dark_knight', a local TV program announced today that Tom Hanks will team-up with Steven Spielberg to do the life story of Abraham Lincoln.

Gladiator co-writer John Logan scripted the biopic of Lincoln for DreamWorks partner Steven Spielberg to direct. The project focuses on how the 16th U.S. president steered the country through the Civil War.

'Stax' also tells us that Tom Hanks is a descendant of Nancy Hanks, mother of Abe Lincoln!

Hanks is a great character actor but I think this maybe a role he can't pull off. I know speilberg thinks the world of him as an actor but hanks as lincoln? I can't even picture him pulling off the look. Naturally a Lincoln Bio done by Speilberg sounds like an awesome movie though.
