Steven Spielberg is rounding out the large cast of his Abraham Lincoln movie.
Tommy Lee Jones and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with Hal Holbrook, James Spader, John Hawkes, Tim Blake Nelson, Bruce McGill and Joseph Cross, are in negotiations to join "Lincoln."
The list of actors doesn't end there. David Costabile, Byron Jennings, Dakin Matthews, Boris McGiver, Gloria Reuben, Jeremy Strong, and David Warshofsky are also in negotiations to board the DreamWorks project.
"Lincoln," which stars Daniel Day Lewis as the 16th president and Sally Field as his wife, is based on "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and adapted by "Munich" scribe Tony Kushner.
Jones will play Thaddeus Stevens, a Republican congressman and staunch abolitionist, who was critical to writing the legislation that funded the Civil War.
Gordon-Levitt will play Robert Todd Lincoln, the Lincolns' eldest son and the only one to live past his teenage years.
The other actors will make up the supporting roles in this telling of Lincoln's journey to abolish slavery and end the Civil War.
The project will shoot this fall in Virginia eyeing a late 2012 release via Disney.
