Daniel Day-Lewis Will Be Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln

Day-Lewis is going to play Lincoln.

For what seems like forever, director Steven Spielberg has talked about wanting to do a biopic on Abraham Lincoln from a script by "Angels in America" playwright Tony Kushner.

An excellent choice. 2 time best actor oscar winner. this role may win him his 3rd.

can't wait for the film.

It will probably go some way to restore his reputation a bit after the Electric Six "Gay Bar" music video. That was bad...

Day-Lewis is a damn good actor, so this could very well be good

who's reputation...,Lincolns? 😂

For me, he'd be making up is "why the hell did you take this role???" mistake of "Nine."

Day-Lewis is a good actor, but he's an especially good actor when he gets to stretch his character actor chops. I hope that everything works together perfectly.

Ah yes, Angels in America writer, so we've got the script and lead down. Obviously, Spielberg has "Schindler's List," "Saving Private Ryan," and "Munich" under his belt. I wonder if he can direct peace time as well as he could ultimate drama history.

I wanted Day-Lewis to be Sinestro. Great actor. Good pick for Ab.

Liam Neeson was forever connected with this project, before he finally dropped out. I didn't anyone could be a better Lincoln than him...
But Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the few who could be. This should be great.

Besides America, will the rest of the world really be interested?

That's a good question, one that I don't really know the answer too. I'm assuming that the rest of the world would have as much of an interest in it as the United States had in Munich.

anything thing america does is interesting to the world. besides most of the greatest movies are made here, of course. and that's been true since the beginning of filmmaking.

besides, isn't daniel day english, which is a bit odd for that role, but he's a good actor, which matters more. so he'll capture alot of overseas appeal.

The same could be said about Bush.

Liam Neeson was forver connected with the project, and he's Irish.
Doesn't make any difference, as long as they can do the role.

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of those actors that I could watch pick his nose. He's amazing. Some images...
