Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln - First Look!

Check out this first look at Daniel Day-Lewis as former President Abraham Lincoln in the upcoming Steven Spielberg flick Lincoln!

“Our movie is really about a working leader who must make tough decisions and get things done in the face of overwhelming opposition,” Steven said in a statement.

“Daniel was always conscious of his contemporary surroundings,” he added about his star. “Daniel never went into a fugue state. He did not channel Lincoln. All that stuff is just more about gossip than it is about technique.”

Lincoln is set to hit theaters on November 9!
