Steven Spielberg to close AFI Fest for a second year in a row with the premiere of 'Lincoln'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 2:50 pm · September 20th, 2012
With very little left to choose from in the way of North American premieres, what with NYFF really diving in big this year on that front and Telluride and Toronto taking their fair share as usual, it seemed like Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” would be a good fit for AFI Fest. The November festival always has one or two premieres every year, and last year, one of them was a Spielberg film — “The Adventures of Tintin” (which closed the fest while Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar” opened it). And so it shall be.

Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 2:07 pm · September 10th, 2012
The 44 seconds features what I imagine is a touch of John Williams’s original score and is carried through by dialogue from Union soldier to Daniel Day-Lewis’s 16th Commander-in-Chief.
