A few days ago the first image of Daniel Day-Lewis done up as Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming movie Lincoln was released. Upon very first glance, we can clearly see that the hair, makeup, and costume people on the set of this movie are incredible.
Lincoln focuses on the last four months of the president’s life and the political strategizing he undertook at the close of the Civil War to ensure that slavery would be forever outlawed. “Our movie is really about a working leader who must make tough decisions and get things done in the face of overwhelming opposition,” Spielberg says.
Daniel Day-Lewis isn’t the only big name in this movie; also starring are Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tommy Lee Jones.
Lincoln is a DreamWorks, Twentieth Century Fox, Participant Media production opening in limited release November 9, expanding November 16, 2012.

What do you think of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln?
I think if you see this movie, you should do a bit more REAL research on Lincoln. He’s not the “Great Leader” that he has been made out to be.
Wow! That is great work done there. It sounds like it will be a great movie.

Wow! They DID do a wonderful job!
The resemblance is uncanny! This def sounds like a better movie than the one of Lincoln being portrayed as a vampire hunter.
I could not agree with you more! As soon as I even saw the preview for the vampire hunter movie I could not wrap my mind around WHY that movie was even made. I don’t get it.
I am excited to see the movie, love Tommy Lee Jones.
I can’t believe how amazing the hair and makeup is! I am intrigued….
