In the print edition of Premiere Magazine, more casting has been revealed for upcoming Steven Spielberg's Chicago Seven.
My glance strays to a side table, where headshots of actors under consideration for his likely next directing project, Chicago 7—about the conspiracy trial that grew out of protests at the 1968 Democratic convention—lie on the surface. Among them I spy Will Smith, Taye Diggs, Adam Arkin, and Kevin Spacey; Sacha Baron Cohen (as Abbie Hoffman) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (as William Kunstler) are also linked to the project, which has a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin. (It should be noted here that Chicago 7 will be partly based on Chicago 10, a new documentary produced by Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair's editor, and Brett Morgen, the film's director.) After Chicago 7, Spielberg will probably go on to direct Lincoln, with Liam Neeson in the title role.
Thanks to 'Mike'.
