The First Full-Length Trailer for "Lincoln" is Online!

Andrew: Well it’s finally here, Sarah - the first full-length trailer for Steven Spielberg’s long-awaited Abraham Lincoln biopic starring Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role. Check it out!

So what are your initial impressions?

Sarah: I’m a little concerned about it. I think that I’m afraid it will be a little too much like War Horse.

A: What do you mean by that?

S: I just mean, is it going to be another life story that doesn’t have any real point to it? Is it going to give us a new look into Abraham Lincoln’s life? What is Spielberg going to bring us that we haven’t seen or read about before?

A: I think that’s fair. My concern about it is that Spielberg could possibly make it a generic bio-pic that just happens to have a fantastic cast and a generic John Williams score. So yeah, I guess I agree with you in that particular concern. That said, if there’s a director who can make this an instant classic, it’s Spielberg. The man knows how to shoot war scenes and Daniel Day-Lewis is probably going to be the leading candidate for this year’s Best Actor Oscar.

S: The cast looks phenomenal and it’s a cast I won’t worry about overshadowing one another. I think we have some heavy-hitters that have been around the block a while as well as some younger stars like JGL, so I think the cast is going to just knock it out of the park.

A: Completely agreed. I think my expectations for Lincoln are just a little tempered because we weren’t so hot on War Horse. Hopefully we get vintage Spielberg!

Lincoln also stars Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robert Todd Lincoln, Jared Harris as Ulysses S. Grant, and Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens. Lincoln hits theatres on November 9th. (Holy crap November 9th is gonna be an awesome weekend for movies what with Lincoln AND Skyfall coming out!)
