Has anyone heard about the soon to be filmed cable movie called "To Appomatox" - Apparently Michael C. Hall (aka Showtime's Dexter) is supposed to play Grant. Will Patton plays Lee and Paul Giamatti is Longstreet. Bill Paxton plays Jackson. Looks like it is supposed to be a Civil War miniseries similar to Band of Brothers. I thought this was a joke at first but looks like legit. Check out the cast at

Of course we can look forward to the the Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie too! The book is actually pretty entertaining as long as you don't take history to serious.
And let's not forget the Spielberg movie about Lincoln loosely based upon "Team of Rivals". Apparently Leim Nielson is out and Daniel Day-Lewis is playing Abe. I can see both actors doing a great job but we will need to wait.
