Spielberg has said that the movie takes place during the final four months of Lincoln's life as he fights to maintain the outlawing of slavery.

To stay in character, Day-Lewis was referred to as "Mr. President" on set, according to EW. Will "four score and seven years ago" be the new "I drink your milkshake?" Your move, John Hawkes and Joaquin Phoenix.
"Lincoln" is due out November 9.
