The deep thoughtful look, the craggy face \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the signature beard. Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis resonates as Abraham Lincoln in this first shot of him in full character for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming epic about the nation’s 16th president, Lincoln<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paparazzi snapped photos of a bearded Day-Lewis at a diner last year, but on Tuesday morning, EW.com posted this exclusive shot of Day-Lewis in period costume\u00c2\u00a0<\/a>for the highly anticipated movie that will be released on Nov. 9, just three days after the 2012 Presidential election.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The site also addresses reports that Day-Lewis, known for his immersive acting techniques, prepared for the role of the mid-19th Century president “by avoiding the trappings of the trappings of 21st \u00e2\u20ac\u201d not to mention 20th \u00e2\u20ac\u201d century life during the shoot”. \u00c2\u00a0Not so, says Spielberg, who tells EW<\/em>: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Daniel was always conscious of his contemporary surroundings\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and “never went into a fugue state. He did not channel Lincoln. All that stuff is just more about gossip than it is about technique.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Those on the set, including Spielberg, did, however refer to Day-Lewis as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mr. President,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but the Jaws \u00c2\u00a0<\/em>director says that was about maintaining atmosphere. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was calling [all] the actors by their character names,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he tells EW<\/em>. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153That was something I felt was important to establish a little authenticity, maybe even more for me than for them.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
