Another Lincoln-centric film, The Green Blade Rises, the directorial debut of Aj Edwards is already in the works.
Brit Marling (Another Earth) and Wes Bentley (The Hunger Games) have joined the cast of upcoming feature film about Honest Abe’s formative years – Bentley will play the President’s first teacher, while Marling will play Lincoln’s biological mother Nancy who passed away when he was nine.
They join Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) and Jason Clarke (Public Enemies), who are already on-board as Lincoln’s step-mother and father.
Edwards worked with Terrence Malick as an editor on The New World, The Tree of Life, and To the Wonder, so it’s no wonder why Malick agreed to produce Edwards directorial debut with the original script he also wrote.
The role of a baby boy Abraham Lincoln has not yet been cast, but with filming to take place this fall, we’ll soon find out.
