Spielberg’s Lincoln Revving Up, Ready for Oscar Season?
/Film — Playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner last night took part in a panel discussion at the Harvard University Institute of Politics under the rather prolix heading of Looking For Lincoln: In his Time and Ours - A Conversation on the Meaning of Abraham Lincoln.

That presumably means in development at Disney, the new home of DreamWorks. And the "later this year" comment means that Disney has committed to fund and distribute the film...is that right?
