As promised, on Thursday DreamWorks Pictures debuted the full trailer for Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," via a Google+ Hangout, no less. The full hangout session is embedded below, and featured Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who played John Blake in "The Dark Knight Rises" and who plays Lincoln's son, Union Army captain Robert Todd Lincoln) and Spielberg himself.
A Google+ Hangout is basically a group video chat. The Hangout was sponsored by Google Play, formerly known as the Android Market.
The film is directed by Spielberg, and produced by Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy. The screenplay was written by John Logan, Tony Kushner, and Paul Webb.
The screen play is based, in part, on the book "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
The publisher's blurb describes the book as follows:
"In this mega bestseller, the acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln?s political genius in a highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. "
Dreamworks has said 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."
Starring Daniel Day-Lewis (as Abraham Lincoln), Sally Field (as Mary Todd Lincoln), David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln is produced by Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, with a screenplay by Tony Kushner, based in part on the book ?Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln? by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
