Did you watch tonight’s Presidential debate? Did you see the new trailer for Steven Spielberg‘s Lincoln? If you answered “yes” to the first question and “no” to the second then you and I have something in common. Considering the debate aired commercial-free and I tolerated as much of the post-debate chatter I could handle from the folks at CNN, I find it odd to learn this aired tonight, but I guess I just wasn’t watching the right channel. Oh well, I don’t watch trailers anyway.
Lincoln hits theaters on November 9, check out the new trailer below and get more from the film right here.
Steven Spielberg directs two-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln, a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’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.
Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln is produced by Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, with a screenplay by Tony Kushner, based in part on the book “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
