First official look at Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln

For my personal taste Daniel Day-Lewis is the greatest actor of this generation. When word came down the line that the extremely personal and reclusive star would be portraying Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s biopic it immediately became a must on my calendar.

It quickly made the rounds but now we have our first official look at Daniel as the 16th President courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. See the amazing full page image and read what Spielberg had to say about the film and Day-Lewis’ work.
