The World's Greatest Actor is to play History's Greatest US President. The trailer for Steven Spielberg's historical epic, Lincoln, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, was released online last week.
It's the second screen portrayal of Lincoln this year, following the less factual Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, starring Benjamin Walker.
It comes days after a picture emerged from the set of The Butler, of Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda as an uncannily accurate Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
Director Lee Daniels' forthcoming film stars Forest Whitaker as White House butler Cecil Gaines, based on the real Eugene Allen, who served under eight presidents including Dwight D. Eisenhower (Robin Williams) and Richard Nixon (John Cusack).
