Should be amazing. Honest Abe is my favorite President of all time and the greatest our nation has seen IMO. I think the folks involved will do this man justice.

Agreed! And Mr. Lewis is probably the best true actor out there. He is amazing! This should be awesome!

Sounds like the makings of a good movie.

This movie has been in the planning stages for years. Last I heard (4 years ago) Liam Neeson was scheduled to take the role.

 

[EVILFACE]

Neeson would have been the better choice.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Wow, Spielberg and Day-Lewis? Instant awesome.

 

[BadMoon]

Neeson would have been the better choice.

DDL is a far superior actor. Couldn't disagree more.

 

[EVILFACE]

Neeson looks like Lincoln and isn't shabby in the acting department.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Day-Lewis is a chameleon and becomes his roles, he will kill it in this movie.

 

[ShadowX81]

Morgan Freeman is also a great actor. Doesn't mean he is appropriate for the role.

Im gonna agree. Neeson looks alot more like Lincoln.

 

[Shai]

Daniel day lewis is probably the greatest actor alive today.cant see this movie fail.

 

[UTtoyfan]

Anything with Spielberg's name will get me interested. Having Daniel Day-Lewis is the icing on the cake!

 

[DiFabio]

Man, I agree with whoever said it, it should have been Neeson. I've always seen him as Lincoln not to mention he's tall and talented in the acting department.

Hmm, and it's directed by Spielberg (Shindler's list anyone?). Neeson was the perfect choice.

I too thought Neeson was a good choice but I'm sure once people see Day-Lewis in the role it'll be like trying to imagine anyone other than Harrison Ford playing Indiana Jones....probably.

Interesting that the top 2 choices are Irish. Go on ye boys in green!

disclaimer: least I think Day Lewis is irish, its possible he's only lived in ireland much of his life

Far superior? I would agree that he is superior but only slightly.

Liam Neeson is an incredibly actor

 

[tomandshell]

I think that Neeson has that Morgan Freemanesque sense of understated virtue and nobility and wisdom, while Day-Lewis is edgy and intense and brooding and dangerous and unexpected. I think Neeson would have been a better fit for the part of Lincoln, but Day-Lewis is going to make the role his own all the way to the Oscars.
