I\’m really wondering if Sally Field is gonna be able to match up the intensity DDL is gonna bring. Then again, I can\’t remember the last movie she was in that really tested her talents either.

Very interesting that she\’s 11 years older than Day-Lewis, while in real life the reverse was true. Lincoln himself was 9 years older than his wife.

Not objecting to this at all, just noting it.

Thank goodness, Spielberg didn\’t go the youth obsessed route and hire an actress in her 30\’s ( or even younger ) . I am still a fan of Sally Field\’s performances in \’ Sybil \’ and \’ Norma Rae \’.

Spielberg waited many long years for the screenplay – it\’s not about Oscars or even actors – it\’s about the possibility of greatness.

Forgot that she had been mentioned for the role way back when. Thanks for the reminder.

Definitely great casting, but this was announced back in Fall 2007, this is just the official press release.

Sounds great. He\’a also got Robopocalypse in development, so it\’s possible he\’ll dive straight into that straight after. The stills from War Horse looks great, Spielbergs got the cream of the young British acting crop in that – Toby Kebbell, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and so on. Tintin looks encouraging too, I\’m keen to see how Spielberg uses digital and 3D. Good stuff.
