He's been hunted down by Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive, but now Harrison Ford is leading a chase of his own in the forthcoming civil war thriller Manhunt. The crinkly sex symbol has signed up to play real-life American hero Colonel Everton Conger, who led the search for the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. Mike Rich (The Rookie) is writing the screenplay which will focus on the days after Lincoln's assassination and the New York Cavalry's frantic hunt for his killer. Conger eventually found the man responsible, John Wilkes Booth, hiding in a barn twelve days after Lincoln was shot. That's not a spoiler. It's history. |
