In a little over two months, the much-anticipated Steven Spielberg biopic on the life of Abraham Lincoln, called, approrpriately enough, Lincoln, will be released. Here’s the first trailer:
You can’t always judge a movie by its trailer, but I’ve got a good feeling about this one. Spielberg has always excelled when taking on serious history in movie form (see e.g., Amistad and Schindler’s List) and he’s assembled what what seems like a stellar cast. I’m particularly impressed that Daniel Day-Lewis has seemingly nailed the Kentucky “twang” that contemporary writers described Lincoln as speaking in.
