"The first trailer for Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis&amp;#039;s Lincoln has been unveiled during a Google+ Hangout. The premiere, which was followed by a Q&amp;amp;A with Spielberg and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, marks the first time a movie trailer has debuted through the group video chat social service.  The period biopic follows President Abraham Lincoln as he clashes with his cabinet over his desire to abolish slavery. Speaking during the Google+ Hangout, Spielberg discussed Day-Lewis&amp;#039;s take on the iconic historical figure. &amp;quot;Daniel does incredible preparation when he tackles any role,&amp;quot; the director explained. &amp;quot;He came up with his interpretation based on everything he read and delivers Lincoln as I and many others imagine him.&amp;quot; He added that it was a &amp;quot;privilege&amp;quot; to direct Day-Lewis, calling him &amp;quot;arguably one of the greatest actors in the world&amp;quot;.  Alongside Day-Lewis and Gordon-Levitt, who portrays Robert Todd Lincoln, the film&amp;#039;s cast includes Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, Jackie Earle Haley as Alexander Stephens and Jared Harris as Ulysses S Grant. Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy are producing Lincoln, with screenwriter Tony Kushner partly basing his story on Doris Kearns Goodwin&amp;#039;s book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln opens in US cinemas on November 9 and January 25, 2013 in the UK. Photo gallery - Steven Spielberg&amp;#039;s movie career in pictures:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
