Daniel Day-Lewis on verge of historic Oscar treble thanks to method acting (DAILY RECORD)

DANIEL DAY-LEWIS has gone from big screen oddball to become the golden boy of the Oscars.

Tonight, if – as the bookies expect and most critics predict – he collects the Academy Award for his perfect portrayal of Abraham Lincoln, he will have created history.

It will mean that the London-born star – who previously won for My Left Foot and There Will Be Blood – is the first to complete a hat-trick of best actor Oscars.

With tonight’s triumph seeming a virtual certainty, it has caused at least one critic to ask whether Daniel Day-Lewis might just be the greatest screen actor of all time.

I would certainly place him up there with screen greats such as Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, James Stewart and James Cagney.

Like those iconic figures, Day-Lewis, 55, has the ability to so absorb himself in a performance that you forget that he is acting.

Daniel Day-Lewis discusses ‘Lincoln’ in a crowded theater with Spielberg, O’Reilly and Oprah By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Lookout – 22 hrs ago

In person, Daniel Day-Lewis looks almost nothing like Abraham Lincoln. (He looks something like an English soccer player.) On screen, though, Daniel Day-Lewis looks--and possibly sounds--almost exactly like Abraham Lincoln.

"It's lucky for me that no one can say positively what he sounded like," said Day-Lewis on Thursday in New York, following Time magazine's packed VIP screening of Steven Spielberg's Oscar-baiting "Lincoln" biopic.

The 55-year-old London-born actor said he spent a year trying to get into the 16th president's head.
"If you approach Lincoln head on, it's like a child in front of a monument," Day-Lewis said. "You have to come at him from an angle—behind his left shoulder."

"I try not to dismember a character--a life--into its component parts," he continued. "Because the voice is such a deep personal reflection of character, I leave it alone. If I'm very lucky I begin to hear a voice--not supernatural--but it's a powerful moment. Thank God it did happen in this case. I began to hear a voice as I drew closer to the man." (While filming, Day-Lewis would even send text messages as Lincoln to Sally Field, who played Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd.)

Daniel Day-Lewis Looks Iconic In First Poster For LINCOLN BRANDON MARCUS AUGUST 22, 2012 0 (THE MOVIE BLOG)

Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN is an easy sell. It’s directed by Spielberg, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and loads of great actors and is all about the 16th President’s final months in office. It’s like a dream project come true.

The film, which opens in November, has only given us one official movie still. But now we have a poster to go along with it. The poster doesn’t show much because it doesn’t have to. Instead, it just gives us a profile shot of Day-Lewis as Lincoln, Spielberg’s name and, well, that’s it. Still, I couldn’t be more excited for this thing.

Brendan Gleeson and Abbie Cornish to Star in Brad Siberling’s Thriller AN ORDINARY MAN by Adam Chitwood Posted:May 7th, 2012 at 12:05 pm (COLLIDER)

Golden Globe nominated Brendan Gleeson (THE GUARD, IN BRUGES) and Abbie Cornish (BRIGHT STAR, W.E.) are set to star in the new dramatic thriller AN ORDINARY MAN for Brad Silberling (CITY OF ANGELS, MOONLIGHT MILE) who will direct from his own original script.

The contemporary suspense tale centers on the unexpected relationship between a fictitious war criminal in hiding, and his only human contact — his maid.

Silberling produces the film through his Reveal Entertainment banner, in a co-production with Disruptive Media and producers Chris Miller, James Burke and Michael Richter.  David Lonner executive produces the film that is targeted to start principal photography in the Fall 2012 on location in Belgrade, Serbia.

Radiant Films International helmed by President and CEO Mimi Steinbauer will handle international rights to the film and will introduce the project to buyers at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.

On the announcement of the film Silberling said, “There’s no greater pleasure than crafting a tale for brilliant actors to sink their teeth into, and with Brandon and Abbie, I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot.   Watching them go toe to toe in this suspenseful tightrope walk of veiled intentions, cat and mouse psychology, and desperate gambling for human contact – it will be a filmmaker’s dream to capture.   Having Mimi and her Radiant team squarely behind the film gives me a tremendous sense of security for the picture as it makes its way out into the world.”

“Disruptive is honored to be working with such incredibly talented artists as Brad, Brendan and Abbie, and are so excited to help bring this uniquely provocative story to audiences around the world,” continued Miller.

“Brad has written one of the smartest scripts I have read in awhile.  It’s an intelligent, complex story and a great character study of people in conflict.  Brendan and Abbie are perfectly cast and in Brad’s hands we expect great things from this thrilling film,” commented Steinbauer.

Gleeson gained critical recognition for his roles in last year’s successful comedy THE GUARD opposite Don Cheadle released through Sony Pictures Classics and IN BRUGES opposite Colin Farrell; earning Golden Globe Award nominations for both performances. He won an Emmy and was nominated for another Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in HBO’s “Into the Storm.”

His other credits include Martin Scorsese’s GANGS OF NEW YORK, playing the iconic Alastor Moody character in the worldwide box office hit franchise HARRY POTTER series, and TROY opposite Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom. He was last seen in Universal’s SAFE HOUSE opposite Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds and is currently appearing in Relativity Media’s THE RAVEN co-starring John Cusack and Luke Evans. He will next appear in Robert Redford’s THE COMPANY YOU KEEP opposite Redford, Shia LaBeouf and Julie Christie, currently in post-production.
