Lincoln: The Teaser
Monday, September 10, 2012 at 7:54PM Michael C. here.
The full trailer for Spielberg's Lincoln doesn't arrive until Thursday, but good news for those of you who can't wait that long without at least a few glimpses of Lincoln surveying the troops. I present you the teaser for the trailer.
Over the course of its 43 seconds it features everything from the back of Lincoln's head to the sound of a ticking clock to the word LINCOLN in big letters, all set to an excerpt of the Gettysburg Address...spoken by someone who isn't Daniel Day-Lewis. I don't take much else from this besides Lincoln's obviously top-notch production values and a somewhat muted, somber tone. How were those 43 seconds for you?

pro:
like what DDL does with the voice
con:
thinks itself a VERY IMPORTANT MOVIE
Marsha, that's David Oyelowo's voice, not DDL. With regards to your 2nd point, you can't blame them. It's a monumental period in American history and an iconic president.
This teaser for the teaser trailer trend must stop. Next thing you know, there will be a one second teaser.
I was seriously confused about the voiceover. Thanks, squasher.
