Sharks were his pet project?

Or something like that.

In short, he cares more about and pays more personal attention to saving sharks than any other job he does.

Alright?

All right. Here are more media examples to drive the point home:

1. Paramount has reportedly opted against making Steven Spielberg’s Abraham Lincoln biopic.

According to The Big Money, the studio passed on Lincoln this week, leaving Spielberg unable to proceed with his pet project. Liam Neeson has been attached to play the 16th US President for several years, while Sally Field's name was linked to the role of First Lady Mary Lincoln.

The film’s screenwriter Tony Kushner recently claimed that the biopic would arrive in cinemas by Christmas - in time for the bicentenary of Lincoln’s birth - should the project receive the greenlight.

When Spielberg’s DreamWorks company split from Paramount last year, the studio kept the rights to Lincoln. The director is now hoping that the film will be picked up elsewhere.

2. When Jerry Brown was governor the first time, his father -- a former California governor himself -- used to lament that his son didn’t have a wife to bolster him when times got tough, like the senior Brown did.

Now, four decades later, as the 72-year-old son prepares to become governor again, he brings with him Anne Gust Brown -- his wife of five years and the woman who has been at his side for two decades, even though few voters know her.
