Though my heart lies in NYC, my current summer home is in Richmond, Va. where my parents and I have lived for the last 11 years (when I'm not in school). Though little in the entertainment industry happens in Richmond, this year we do have something to keep us on the look out. I'm interning with Richmond Magazine this summer and they have just reported that Steven Spielberg's film Lincoln, starring Daniel Day Lewis and Sally Field, will be filming in my home town and in Petersburg. 
The film is a biopic of the 16th president and will also star Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robert Todd Lincoln and Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens. It's set to come out in December 2012, so in the meantime I will just have to stalk Spielberg around Richmond. Though it would be great to meet a director/producer I admire so much, I have to admit that the cast of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is much more attractive and probably more exciting. That one is set to come out June 22, 2012 and stars Benjamin Walker as Abe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Mary Todd Lincoln. Yet another example of two films that try to different approaches to similar topics. Which will you go see?
