Burbank, CA (January 16, 2013)
– DreamWorks Pictures announced today that a behind-the-scenes special,
“Lincoln: An American Journey,” an exploration of the making of their
highly commended film “Lincoln,” debuts online today, Wednesday,
January 16, on Apple iTunes at 12:00 p.m. (PST). The special will also

“Lincoln:
An American Journey” is an inside look at the making of DreamWorks
Pictures’ “Lincoln,” the film that has become a nationwide phenomenon,
grossing over $150 million to date since its opening on November 9.
“Lincoln,” directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Spielberg and
Kathleen Kennedy, has received more awards nomination than any other
film this year, including 12 Academy Award® nominations.
The
special marks the first time audiences will be able to go behind the
scenes with Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field to
experience how everyone came together over a 12-year journey to bring
“Lincoln” to the big screen.
The American Film Institute writes of the critically acclaimed film: “‘Lincoln’
belongs to the ages. Steven Spielberg’s landmark motion picture
enriches the American canon—freeing the Great Emancipator from his
tintype image and exploring the wit and wisdom that made the man. Daniel
Day-Lewis is instantly iconic, demonstrating an immersion into
character that is as honest as it is immediate. Sally Field, Tommy Lee
Jones and an extraordinary acting ensemble breathe humanity into
history, while Tony Kushner's brilliant screenplay illustrates the power
of words to dazzle above the most special of effects. Film legends D.W.
Griffith and John Ford each depicted their versions of America’s
sixteenth president, and Spielberg’s now stands beside them with this
telling for our time—and for all time.”
“Lincoln”
is a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous
final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds
of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war,
unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce
determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will
change the fate of generations to come.
Starring
Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt,
James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones, “Lincoln” is directed by
Steven Spielberg, produced by Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy,
with a screenplay by Tony Kushner, based in part on the book “Team of

Goodwin.
