I apologize if I'm being redundant with this movie but this is the recently unveiled poster. And I was apparently wrong about the release date. Certain websites aren't very reliable at all. But I'm pleased in particular with who's portraying Lincoln's Secretary of State William H. Seward and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Seward had actually ran against Lincoln for president in 1860 and had a very real chance of defeating him because he had money and a very good record and reputation. But in the end it was Lincoln's way with words and more moderate approach to the issues of slavery at the time that won him the nomination. Stanton is another man I admire. Very skeptical of Lincoln in the beginning but grew so loyal to him that he became a big problem to the Johnson administration after Lincoln's assassination and death. When they attempted to remove Stanton from his position, he responded by locking himself in his office for several days until they were forced to break through the door.
