No way. First of all, look at the physical characteristics of Lincoln, he was a tall, skinny dude. Look at Liam Neeson - add a beard and they are a perfect match. Sean Penn is a short little dude: no way people would believe he was Lincoln. @Brain: Sean Penn!! No way. First of all, look at the physical characteristics of Lincoln, he was a tall, skinny dude.

Still, only two months of Lincoln's life? No rise to power? No secession of South Carolina, attack on Fort Sumter, Gettysburg Address, Emancipation? Wow! All I can say is this, I hope the film covers all of these significant events in Lincoln's life - similar to what Oliver Stone did with his Nixon biopic.
