DreamWorks just sent over the official poster for Steven Spielberg‘s hotly anticipated biopic Lincoln featuring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th President of the United States.
The film is described as a revealing drama that focuses on Lincoln’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come. The screenplay was written by Tony Kushner, based in part on the book “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Day-Lewis is joined by Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones and more as part of a massive ensemble cast.
Lincoln is set to hit limited theaters on November 9 and expand the following week.
