Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 10:17PM Kind of First Look at Daniel Day-Lewis as 'Lincoln'
This isn't the pic, but it should be...
I was excited to hear Daniel Day-Lewis was coming out of his usual hiatus (one movie every three years or so) to play the 16th President of the U.S. for Steven Spielberg in Lincoln. We have the first semi-legit pic of Mr. Day-Lewis as the guy on the $5 bill minus the top hat and presidential garb. Thanks to twitter user UVAMichael, we get a glance at the Oscar-winning actor donning the mutton chops and beard during chow time. I'm guessing this pic is off set, just a hunch.
This is hardily Earth shattering news. It is neat to see arguably the best actor of his generation at least rocking the face whiskers of the famous president, who was instrumental in abolishing slavery and ending the Civil War.
Plus, I've been a big fan of the guy since his outstanding performances in In the Name of the Father, as Bill "The Butcher" in Scorsese's Gangs of New York, and of course in There Will Be Blood.
JGL will play Lincoln's son Robert Todd Lincoln in the film, so I'm not certain who'll be the headliner of this one yet. Lincoln is currently filming and loosely slated for holiday season 2012 release.
