The wait is finally over. The full trailer for 20th Century Fox’s Lincoln is here. Based on a book “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” by Doris Kearns Goodwin, and directed by Steven Spielberg, the film revolves around the 16th President of the United States of America and specifically with his handling of the Civil War and slavery abolishment. It’s a hard-hitting biography sure to open the eyes of many to whom Abraham Lincoln was (hint he was no vampire killer). It’s release in November should come as no surprise as it is certain to garner several Oscar nominations, which I think you’ll agree it will probably deserve after watching the trailer below.
Lincoln stars Daniel Day Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field, David Strathairn, James Spader and Hal Holbrook.
Lincoln leads US theaters on November 16, 2012 and UK theaters on January 25, 2013.

Wish I could say I was excited as everyone else over this.
looks good.
It seems so ….. presidential.
Lincoln was a deeply conflicted man. I hope this captures more than just his highlight reel.
Daniel Day-Lewis nails it. Oscar race is heating up.
I’m confused. I thought Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter.
If only our current crop of politicians had the courage Lincoln had to make the difficult decisions. Instead we have twits ruled by corporate cash interested only in getting re-elected.
Emotional syrup. Too much for me.
I can hear the Oscar talk now but this isn’t anything I’m willing to sit through.
A propaganda piece from Steven Spielberg, the master propagandist director.
I thought Lincoln’s voice was a few octaves deeper, no?
This’ll clean up at the Academy Awards- actor, director, adaptation, costume design are already locked in.
