Redford to go after 'Conspirator'

By Adnan Tezer Aug 18, 2009, 20:47 GMT

Robert Redford is getting back into the director’s chair with a film about a woman executed as an accessory in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

According to Variety, Redford plans to direct "The Conspirator," the story of Mary Surratt, a boardinghouse owner hanged after she was convicted of aiding Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth.

The project follows Redford's 2007 film "Lions for Lambs," a war-on-terror drama that he directed and co-starred in with Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep.

Production could begin late this year.

The film joins another high-profile Lincoln-related saga. Steven Spielberg has the film biography "Lincoln" in development, though no production date has been set.
