The Debate Night Lincoln Trailer: Clothed in Immense Power

Wednesday night’s presidential debate brought a new, fierier teaser for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. We saw a so-so amount of Daniel Day-Lewis’s Abraham in the inaugural trailer a few weeks ago, but didn’t hear him so much. Now we get the best of the last clip (“blood’s been spilled to afford us this momentâ€) as well as marital drama between Sally Field and Day-Lewis, spoken lines from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and David Costabile (Breaking Bad’s Gale Boetticher), and a couple moments of absolute thunder from Lincoln. (If you’re wondering, that line about being clothed in immense power was actually attributed to Honest Abe.) It’s also supremely patriotic — the trailer’s called “Unite,†there’s a shot of One World Trade Center and the Tribute in Light, plus a stock photo of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
