Finally something new about the upcoming Steven Spielberg‘s project Lincoln. And of course, we’re here to talk about the cast, because according to the latest reports, David Strathairn has joined previously announced Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field.
Well, as you see, one thing is for sure, this project definitely has some serious cast on board.
So, as you already know, this project is based on the Doris Kearns Goodwin book titled Team of Rivals and Oscar-nominee Tony Kushner (Munich) is responsible for the script.
Goodwin’s book is actually “…an analysis of Abraham Lincoln’s political talents identifies the character strengths and abilities that enabled his successful election above three accomplished candidates, in an account that also describes how he used the same abilities to rally former opponents in forming his cabinet and winning the Civil War.”
As for the above mentioned cast, Daniel Day-Lewis is set to star as the 16th President of the United States, Lincoln, while Sally Field will play his wife Mary Todd Lincoln.
