Da Abbie H Show.

Move over Lincoln Liam and Sally Todd: It seems Steven Spielberg's next post-Indy project may involve Sasha Baron Cohen as Abbie Hoffman in The Trial of the Chicago Seven (not to be confused with the Seattle Seven, i.e. the Dude "and, uh, six other guys.") "The Spielberg film is said to be closer to Munich...than to his next Indiana Jones frolic, due in the summer." Could be good, and Cohen is dead-on casting. Still, I've been looking forward to Spielberg's Lincoln, and the Hoffman story was done rather recently with Vincent D'Onofrio and Steal this Movie. Update: Concerning the rest of the cast, the recent Vanity Fair Indy article suggests Philip Seymour Hoffman is up for William Kunstler (i.e. the Chicago 7's lawyer) and that Will Smith, Taye Diggs, Adam Arkin, and Kevin Spacey are also being considered for roles.
