Spielberg & Day-Lewis's Emotional Lincoln Moment

0:00On March 27, Steven Spielberg recently shared a touching story from the set of his film Lincoln. The 79-year-old director was speaking at South by Southwest when he opened up about working with Daniel DeLuis, who was 68 at. The time and fully in character as Abraham Lincoln. The moment came during a powerful scene where Lincoln urges his cabinet to pass the 13th Amendment. It was just two moving shots, including a four-minute speech that started wide at the table and ended in close-up on DeLuis. Spielberg got so emotional after the first take that he had to leave the set in tears. DeLuis, still dressed as Lincoln, noticed the director was gone and asked where Skipper was. Dressed as the president, DeLuis found Spielberg in another room, sat beside him, and put an arm around him for comfort. It was a moment Spielberg says he'll never forget. These kinds of behind-the-scenes glimpses show the deep bonds that form on set, reminding us why great filmmaking moves us all.
