From avant-garde
filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes a sweeping epic essaying the final moments of
a man’s legacy in “Lincoln,” starring Academy Award Winners Daniel Day Lewis,
Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
20th Century
Fox, Dreamworks Pictures present in association with Participant Media further
reveals in “Lincoln’s” international trailer (the final four months of Abraham Lincoln’s life and presidency. The full
measure of the man—his passion and his humanity—came to bear on his defining
battle: to plot a forward path for a shattered nation, against
overwhelming odds and extreme public and personal pressure.
Steven
Spielberg’s “Lincoln” provides an intimate immersion into the American leader’s
most perilous and revealing moments, at a time when the dark shadow of slavery
lifts and a country torn by war must be made whole.
Brought to life
via a layered screenplay by Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner, Spielberg’s
starkly human storytelling and the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis leading an
accomplished cast, the film invites audiences directly into the heart and soul
of Lincoln’s final achievements. The Lincoln who emerges is a man of raw
paradoxes: funny and solemn, a playful storyteller and fierce power broker, a
shrewd commander and a vulnerable father. But in his nation’s darkest hour,
when the times demand the very best of people, he reaches from within himself
for something powerful and everlasting.
“Lincoln” opens
in Phil. cinemas on February 20 from 20th Century Fox to be
distributed by Warner Bros.
