Daniel Day Lewis: Spielberg’s Lincoln hits theaters November 9 Posted on July 23, 2012 - 16:19 by David Konow (TG)

Abraham Lincoln already graced our nation’s screens this summer in the fictional form of Vampire Hunter. 



Unfortunately, the film didn’t take off at the box office in spite of the success of the book. However, a new, more serious look at the former president is slated to hit movie theaters this November, courtesy of Steven Spielberg. 




According to MTV, Lincoln will have an exclusive release on the 9th, and then receive a wide release November 16.

Daniel-Day Lewis is playing Lincoln, which is reasons 1, 2, and 3 I’m dying to see this movie. Also one of the most brilliant writers alive, Tony Kushner (Angels in America), penned the screenplay.

Along with Day-Lewis, the film also stars Sally Field as Lincoln’s wife, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his son, and Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens. Essentially, the film is an adaptation of the book Team of Rivals, written by Doris Kearns Goodwin, and the story focuses on the Civil War years 1861-1865.

Timur Bekmambetov Says "Shocking" Sequel To 'Wanted' Will Follow James McAvoy's Wesley Gibson & Features A "Great Twist" NEWS BY GABE TORO | JUNE 18, 2012 9:40 AM

EXCLUSIVE: While there has been much talk, a sequel to "Wanted" has been moving slowly. While the original writers were hired to pen a sequel last fall, it remained to seen how they would continue from the blood-soaked finale of the first film, a breakneck comic book actioner from director Timur Bekmambetov that grossed $341 million worldwide. With an ending featuring a bloodbath that killed the most important characters, not to mention the biggest names in the cast, a follow-up looked like a tricky proposition, but it looks like that particular story nut has been cracked.

We spoke to Bekmambetov over the weekend during press rounds for "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and learned that "Wanted 2" is very much moving forward. "An unbelievable thing happened three weeks ago," Bekmambetov said. "Because we stopped, we didn't know what to do for three or four years. Three weeks ago I came up with a great idea and I pitched this idea and everybody fell in love with it. And now I think we're on track. Right now the writer is working on the script, and it will be shocking."
