===========================================

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. The DreamWorks Pictures/Twentieth Century Fox film, in association with Participant Media, releases in UK cinemas on January 25th, 2013.

No-one else seen Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter then ?

What a wonderful film!
Beautifully produced, Very un-Spielberg like in regards to little action & in regards to the film not portraying his assasination. It is a courtroom, political drama that focuses on Lincoln's desire to pass the 13th ammendment in congress by any means. Daniel Day Lewis does a wonderful job and you could tell he loved playing the role. There are some great speaches and lines, I also enjoyed Tommy Lee-Jones contribution, he contributed magnificently.

I think Spielburg will finally get his 3rd best director oscar.

Bravo!

I think I'll be off to see that when it comes out.

I'm struggling to get excited about this one, as I am with Les Miserables; my interest in seeing a film is adversely proportional to the number of faux-sincere, gushing interviews, wherein a group of artists tell anyone who will listen how wonderful they all are. I also have an aversion to Oscar-bait, which both the aforementioned clearly are.

I'll probably stick it on my Lovefilm list, really enjoy it, then realise what a churlish, grumpy old man I have become.
