Reel Facts & Opinions
FACT: Two-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis will play Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s biopic; based on the best-selling biography of Lincoln’s presidency, Team of Rivals.
OPINION: It seems like this film has been gestating for longer than Abe has been dead. Over three years ago Liam Neeson was attached to play the lead role before bailing. Waiting for Steven to get something of serious weight done seems to be an issue as of late; it’s arguable that he has not put out a heavyweight-classic since SAVING PRIVATE RYAN in ’98. With Daniel Day in his corner for this one, we’re going to see “one hell of a goddamn show”.
What say you?
