A new DD-L film on the way - and only 1 year to wait before the start of filming!!!
WOO-HOO!!! 
Another plus: as stated in the article, this role will give DD-L the opportunity to "return to the type of full-bodied character portrayals he's known for." I greatly admire the fact that Daniel took a chance on "Nine" - but even if Daniel had turned in the performance of a lifetime, the film itself was disappointing.
I will be looking forward to his "Lincoln" with much greater anticipation!  |

| This is a simply amazing casting choice! I can see Daniel, with beard, looking very Lincoln-like. This is a movie I will really be looking forward to. |

| This should be a great role for him. I wasnt so sure about the physical representation, but when you see the pic of him in the article, you can definitely see the potential there. May have to take a trip to the theater for that oneThanks for the heads up, Stephanie!!! |

| Excellent choice for the role. Liam Neeson would have been good too. |

Neeson?!? 
I don't know ... his build is all wrong. DDL MUCH better, I think. Perfect in fact. I don't think anyone else could do the job I expect Daniel to do with this. |

| Neeson definitely has the height going for him, but differences in height can be mitigated on film. DDL has the lanky frame and angular facial features similar to that of Lincoln. Both good choices for their respective Lincoln strengths! |

Exciting news for all of us living in VA! Click the link below to read more about Steven Spielberg's plans to film "Lincoln" in the central part of our state:
http://hamptonroads.com/2011/05/spielberg-shoot-lincoln-movie-virginia
I'm going to have to follow the filming of this movie VERY CLOSELY, as I live less than 2 hours from Richmond, Petersburg & the surrounding areas. The thought of having Daniel THIS CLOSE is SO exciting!!! Just might have to travel out to those areas during filming to see if maybe - just MAYBE - I could actually get a glimpse of the man himself, in person!!!

| Not only Lincoln. . .Michael Medved (who reviews movies, amongst other things) thinks DDL is the best choice for Osama Bin Laden if/when they ever make a movie about the last 10 years. Talk about two opposite extremes. |

| More comments about the excellence of DDL's (upcoming) portrayal of Lincoln. Of course, it's not "news" that DDL looks like and does a great job playing Lincoln, but it will be great to see the movie. |

What's the point of this, - to prove todays laws are more "understanding" on these things? ... Sounds like some folks have far too much time on their hands. |

.
In contrast to today, the Republican party to which Lincoln belonged was founded by anti-slavery activists and Republicans were often tagged "radicals."
Two-time Oscar-winning actor Day-Lewis portrays Lincoln as a charismatic, gifted wordsmith and an often quietly determined, skilled politician who risked his popularity to gain enough votes to pass the 13th Amendment - which outlawed slavery - in the U.S. House of Representatives during the final months of 1865. |

| I enjoyed "Lincoln" a great deal. The process reminds me of what Bismark said about law-making and sausage making. |

Me neither - it was generally excellent, but in a dry, detached, and academic sort of way. I saw it in a small theater, and about halfway through looked at my watch - not exactly what you'd call "riveting", like our favorite DD-L epic! I applaud the film for taking on a less-than-exciting aspect of the man, the times, and the political machinations. But having seen Argo, I think that even if it was exaggerated and at least partially fictional, it was better movie-making; DD-L still deserved his Academy Award though! |
