Steven Spielberg and Liam Neeson worked together on The Classic "Shindler List" from 1993 in 1993 (seen above). The film tells the story of Oscar Schindler, a German industrialist who hopes to keep its factories open even when the Nazi party comes to power in Germany. He pays Nazi officials to hire Jewish workers, effectively protect them from Nazi death camps. It takes some time to realize that she is doing something heroic. Soon he begins excessive employment of his factories, he emphasizes as many Jewish people as possible. At the end of the war, he is said to have rescued about 1,200 people.

The play of the inserty was sensitive and tragic, and earned the actor his unique Oscar nomination to date. It seemed logical that Nyson and Spielberg should want to work together at some point, but it took many years to manifest the appropriate project. In 2005, It was reported by diversity that the project was found. Nyson was supposed to play Abraham Lincoln in Spielberg's new biography of the 16th president of the United States. This was when the director was still filming the remake of "War of the Worlds", so the film was still a little further away in Spielberg's future.

As we now know, Spielberg's Lincoln will not be released until the later months of 2012, and that was acting in Daniel Day-Luis. It is a seven -year delay and a major casting change. Between the announcement of the variety and Lincoln, Spielberg will make Munich, Indiana Onesons and the Kingdom of Crystal Cherep, "Adventures of Tintin" and "military horse". During that time, Lincoln will mutate a little, and Neyson will give up. As was reported by /film, Nyson left Lincoln in 2010. At the time, he said he was "passing his sale date".

However, Nyson clarified his feelings of Lincoln and the reason he turned out, In an interview for 2014 with GQ. In short, he felt too old for the part.

Nyson seems to be Spielberg's second choice. According to Article for 2016 in Yorkyor TimesDaniel Day-Louis approached Spielberg back in 2003 to play Abraham Lincoln. Day-Louis turned the part at the time, feeling that he was uniquely ill-suited for the role. However, Spielberg seemed to have an Irish actor to play the role, and went to Nyson next. Back in an interview with GQ, Nyson said he was remembering he was contacted for Lincoln and was amazed at the opportunity. According to his words:

"Steven approached me to play it ... f ***, it must be ten years ago. He sent me a scenario, and I was like" God ". And he told me approximately when I might want to shoot it, so I started researching.

Nyson was part of the project for so long that the script changed his hands. The original version of Lincoln, he said, was a more traditional biopic, written by the playwright Paul web. "From his inauguration to his death," Neeson said. When screenwriter Tony Kushner took the draft, the focus diminished as it concerned the 13th amendment and the last months of Lincoln's life. Very slowly, other actors were added to the list, and Spielberg finally organized a reading reading in 2009. Then, during the reading of the table-which recently lost his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, in a ski crash-spoken that she would not be able to do so. He said:

"Steven gathered reading, and we all sat: Sally Shield, Johnon Litgov. Oh, just great actors. And (Lincoln's biography author) Doris Kirns Goodwin, and Steven, of course.

Neyson was convinced.

Neyson said the reading table continued with Apage and that he loved the script, but in a very abstract way, he did not feel it. He could even be distracted by his own sadness because of his wife's loss less than two months earlier. Whatever the reason, Lincoln's role did not feel good in his hands. "It was a very strange feeling and it was partial sadness," he said. After reading, all the potential co-stars of Nonko said he was great and was well suited for the role, but Nyson disagrees. The actor continued:

"Then Steven came and I said," Steven, now you have to rethink this. " And he said, 'What are you talking about?' And I said, 'I'm serious. So I went home, and that night I called Doris, and I had a conversation with her. And that was it. "

Shortly afterwards, As reported by the Guardian in 2010Day-Louis was caught in the role and everything was right with the world. The story went that Nyson, by accident, suggested Spielberg call Dan-Louis, not knowing that the couple had already spoken. Spielberg then called Leonardo DiCaprio, His movie in 2002 "Catch Me If You Can", And he asked him to call Dan-Louis, as the two appeared together in the epic "New York gangs" by Martin Scorsese. Dan-Louis was finally worn out and took the section.

Dan-Louis ended with the winning of the Lincoln Academy Award, which was also nominated 11 Oscars besides, including the best picture, the best director and the best scenario. It can also be one of Spielberg's best. Neyson turned out, but everything turned out best.
