Ford goes on Manhunt
Harrison Ford is set to star in Manhunt for Walden Media. The movie is based on the book Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, an hour-by-hour account of the search for Abraham Lincoln's assassin by James L. Swanson. The book is scheduled to be released in February. Ford will portray war hero Col. Everton Conger, who led the search. The movie will follow the New York Cavalry as they attempt to solve the mystery behind Lincoln's murder. Soon, they find a plot that goes so deep it threatens to turn the tide of peace so that the country will be immersed in war again.
