Poster Debut: Lincoln

In case you were concerned Steven Spielberg‘s Abraham Lincoln biopic starring Daniel Day-Lewis wouldn’t be a serious affair, here is a stoic poster to allay your fears.

The first poster for Lincoln carries on the ‘haggard president’ look from the film’s only officially released image. Considering what the man had to go through over the course of his life, fair enough!

Lincoln is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s book Team of Rivals, and has been adapted by Tony Kushner for the screen.

The picture also stars Sally Field, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Tommy Lee Jones. It hits U.S. cinemas in November, and will likely arrive on our shores before the 2013 Academy Awards (where it will surely be a nominee).

Discuss: Stoic enough?
