Post taggati Tommy Lee Jones

I’ve always been interested in telling the story of Abraham Lincoln, he’s one of the most compelling figures in American history and in my life, certainly from childhood when I first was taken at four or five years old to see the Lincoln Memorial. At first I was terribly frightened by the immensity of the statue, and as I got closer I was completely captivated by the comfort I found in looking at his face. I felt really safe as a little boy looking at him. I’ll never forget that moment. - Steven Spielberg

When Steven Spielberg first thought of bringing Lincoln to the screen in 1999, he defied all rules — making a movie that was long (145 minutes), dialogue-driven and wonky in an era when every indicator said this could never be a hit. True, a high-class period piece clearly was awards bait. But who would have thought it could become a bona-fide hit, earning $107.8 million at the domestic box office to date?
