Daniel Day-Lewis to Play Lincoln for Spielberg


Gazi

Recommended Posts

I can't wait. Great director and the best actor of his generation.

Based on the best-selling book, Team of Rivals, by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, the screenplay has been written by the Pulitzer Prize winner, Tony Award winner, and Academy Award nominated writer Tony Kushner. It will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg.

It is anticipated that the film will focus on the political collision of Lincoln and the powerful men of his cabinet on the road to abolition and the end of the Civil War.

now I'm a big fan of DD and Spielberg. HOWEVER, I don't like the choice for Lincoln. Simply because I think the expectations will be so super high it might not deliver.

But go get someone more understated but can nail the nuances.

I mean it will be a great film but dunno know about living up to the hype.

i dunno about expectations really, Spielberg hasn't really made a good movie in 8-12 years (depending on taste.)

and Day Lewis? He hasn't made a good one since '98. Were his performances good? Yes. Were the movies good? not really.

So i guess i agree with you. Recipe for disappointment.

Full disclosure, I feel this way about most things.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
