Lincoln is directed by Stephen Spielberg and stars two-time Academy Award winning actor Daniel Day Lewis (Gangs of New York) as president Abraham Lincoln. The film will chronicle Abe's efforts to abolish slavery and end the civil war. Recent reports say that Daniel Day Lewis has not broken his Lincoln accent since filming commenced and is so engrossed in his character his “real name doesn’t even appear on the call sheet.”

Joseph Gordon Levitt (Inception) will portray Lincoln's eldest son Robert Todd Lincoln, who was the only one of Abe's children to live past their teen years. Tommy Lee Jones (No Country For Old Men) is being tapped to play Thaddeus Stevens, a Republican leader and congressman from Pennsylvania who was vital in helping Abe's efforts to rid slavery. Sally Field is set to play Abe's wife Mary Todd. Jared Harris has signed on to play Union general Ulysses S. Grant. Other actors on board the project in minor roles include David Oyelowo, Hal Holbrook, James Spader, John Hawkes, Tim Blake Nelson, Bruce McGill, David Costabile, Byron Jennings, Dakin Matthews, Boris McGiver, Gloria Reuben, Jeremy Strong, David Warshofsky and Joseph Cross.

Lincoln began filming this fall in Virginia for a targeted release in late 2012 under Disney's Touchstone label via DreamWorks Pictures.

Movie was terribly boring. Tommy Lee Jones was good though.

You should try Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Lots of Matrixy fight scenes and 'splosions.

That movie looks terrible. I just prefer non-fictional movie portrayals in book form. You can soak up way more information and don't have to sit through the filler in a movie theater. Just my personal preference though.

Try Top Gun or Bad Boys.

Man.

I freaking loved this movie. It was amazing. Lewis absolutely destroyed this role. Nailed it. And my biggest concern of Tommy Lee Jones killing this movie was unfounded. He was very effective in his role.

If you haven't seen this movie, watch it today.

Finally saw this last night, and I have to agree. It was fascinating how they were able to show such an in depth portrayal of Lincoln by focusing on those two months. Top notch performances all around.
