Daniel Day-Lewis Talks Playing The President in Steven Spielberg's 'Obama'

Best thing I've seen in a long time. Nice.

UK Trailer for 'Lincoln'

Less stirring than the first trailer but keys you in as to what to expect with perhaps more detail than needed. Next cut should be more emotional, have less political maneuvering, otherwise people might opt for renting and not turn out at the theater. That's a tall order for this movie, I suppose.

Very Assured

It takes guts to release a trailer like this but I'm thinking 'Lincoln' may be strong enough of a movie to justify it.

Poster for 'Lincoln'

I'm somewhat at a loss as to what would be better but this poster doesn't do much for me. The white background, for one, seems wrong. Wouldn't a more sober color work better? I do like that Day-Lewis is in profile, though -- that works.



























The resolution is off as well. It seems way over sharpened and it's pixelated. Don't know why they'd go out with such a compromised image. Are they going for some old look to maintain verisimilitude? 

Don't know what good that level of rez does. It just looks bad. All in all this first poster probably does little to create anticipation for the movie.

First Look at Daniel Day-Lewis as 'Lincoln'

Convincing. That's a pretty deep crimson, though -- seems oversaturated. I'm guessing the color is for the still and the movie won't look like that. Also, looking at it, the dynamic range seems too wide. Never mind, I'm sure the movie will be on the bleached side.

All that aside, yes, convincing. A good first look.

This would be the balcony at Ford's Theatre? Looks to be. I've actually visited. Small, cramped.
