Said Spielberg, “Daniel Day-Lewis would have always been counted as one of the greatest of actors, were he from the silent era, the golden age of film or even some time in cinema’s distant future. I am grateful and inspired that our paths will finally cross with LINCOLN.”
Said Day-Lewis, “…” Yeah, he didn’t comment.
The script, from Tony Kushner, is based on the book “Team of Rivals” by presidential historian and all around sexy lady Doris Kearns Goodwin. Disney will release the DreamWorks film through their Touchstone Pictures label in 2012.
So we get FOUR Spielberg films – TINTIN, WAR HORSE, ROBOPOCALPYSE and LINCOLN – in two years? I’ll take it.
