Watch: New International Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’
“Today, we will vote” As Election Day comes and goes this week in the US, Twentieth Century Fox has released a new international trailer for director Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film Lincoln. This excellent preview focuses on President Lincoln’s (Daniel Day-Lewis) crucial efforts to pass the 13th Amendment.
It’s a great look at the film and it gives moviegoers a much better feel of the picture is all about. Needless to say, if the star-studded cast (that includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jared Harris) hasn’t convinced you to see this movie then this trailer will likely get you over the hump.
Watch the trailer below (via The Guardian) and let us know what you think. Lincoln opens on November 16th.
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.

oh wow!! amazing cast…that alone conviced me to watch it and it’s a Spielberg movie….it add up the fun
Doesn’t loom as sentimental as War Horse, so thats a plus
*look*
Damn… Daniel Day-Lewis is intense in those clips.
For me it’s the voice – I am sure some (loads of) research have gone into this but it throws me off a little. I guess I never thought much of how Pres. Lincoln’s voice was.
I was concerned the voice wouldn’t be portrayed as such. That is how it is described by the books. So I was pleased to find that Day-Lewis captured it that way.
Daniel Day Lewis has the talent to propel this to the forefront of Spielberg films. I’ve got high hopes for it.
I’m still worried about this being far too reverential to be really taken seriously as a biopic, but I can’t say no to DDL.
I have always preferred my Spielberg to be of the so-called popcorn variety (Jaws, Raiders, Jurassic) and have more oft than not been disappointed in the more serious films (Schindler, Color Purple, War Horse) but dammit, Daniel Day-Lewis makes everything better, so count me in.
I am so excited for this film. And I was pleased to get this trailer since the old one was starting to get…well…old. I hope it lives up to my expectations!
