Quintus 5,399 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Day Lewis does look pretty good, but I still wish it were Neeson playing the role. But we'll see. My interest is piqued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 452 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 disappointing to see that Tony Kushner is sole credited screenwriter...How so?I'm just not a fan of the man in general. I didn't like Angels in America, and Munich was glacially paced. The thing is, he can write excellent dialogue but he needs to tighten the pace on his stories in general. But he's working with excellent source material from Goodwin's book, so I have to give him credit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilal 569 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I found this while searching for a trailer. It's probably fan art but it's still really cool!This poster is much better than the one released now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 There's not much room for surprise on the score, restrained Americana is among Williams' weaker styles.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I love his unrestrained Americana like with The Patriot but that absolutely won't happen here. It's an intimate portrait of Lincoln's life and will probably have more than it's fair share of courtroom or "sitting around and discussing the issue" scenes. I just keep remembering the sparse material beneath the Amistad courtroom scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"An Oscilloscope and Code Red release. BBC Films and UK Film Council present -- in association with Footprint Investments LLP, Piccadilly Pictures, and Lipsync Productions -- an Independent production in association with Artina Films and Rockinghorse Films" But yeah, Dreamworks has had a lot of financial problems, and most (all?) of its recent live-action productions are partnerships with various production companies and distributors.

MSM 126 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I love movies about American presidents, I have a lot of them. Depends on director etc, but most 'big ones' tend to be good, regardless of one likes a certain president or not. The recent The Kennedy's was good, Path to War was exceptionally good, and now watching Sally Hemings: An American Scandal. Great stuff and must see for anyone interested in world history. So, really looking forward to Lincoln, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Where were you hoping it would end Joey? Before the assassination? The film was only covering the last few months of Lincoln's life, so portraying his death was inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 We do not know how the film will play his assassination, will it be entirely dramatized or depicted in some other way. But considering that there is mention of the Petersen House, his last moments will be in the film. And as a European not so versed in the live of American presidents, I didn't know Lincoln was still alive after the assassination, even though extremely badly wounded. This will be an educational film for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I am very much looking forward to this score, I amexpecting both a very powerful and moving score and movie. I also have high hopes for an Oscar on this score, one because it's a movie about one of our greatest Presidents (and IMO the Oscars is becoming very political and biased) and because it should be an outstanding Williams/Spielberg collaboration.

Richard Penna 3,669 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This is definitely absolute prime oscar bait for everyone involved. Day-Lewis is probably guaranteed 'best actor' by now.If it weren't for The Hobbit, I'd say this was JW's best chance in years. Maybe they'll honour the trilogy instead though.
