Here’s the trailer from YouTube.

Spielberg said of the trailer, it’s just a “slight texture,” of the film and “an offering of the tone.” He called Lincoln “a monumental President,” but the film treats him “as man not monument.”

Steven Spielberg directs two-time Academy Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln,” a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.
