WATCH: Zach Galifinakis Asks Sally Field If She Ate Anne Hathaway To Gain Weight For 'Lincoln'

WATCH: Zach Galifinakis Asks Sally Field If She Ate Anne Hathaway To Gain Weight For 'Lincoln'

Part two of Zach Galifianakis' Oscar edition of Between Two Ferns is out, and it manages to top part one. The best line of the segment is when Galifianakis asks Sally Field about the 25 pounds for her role in Lincoln. "How'd you do that, eat Anne Hathaway?" he says.  After hearing that, I'll think twice before ever asking another actor about the dramatic weight loss or gain they achieved for a role.  more »

'Lincoln' First Lady Sally Field On The Power And Passion Of Mary Todd Lincoln

First Look at Daniel Day-Lewis as Steven Spielberg's Eerily Accurate Lincoln

First Look at Daniel Day-Lewis as Steven Spielberg's Eerily Accurate Lincoln

Steven Spielberg couldn't be at the AFI Fest premiere of The Adventures of Tintin because he was filming Lincoln in Virginia -- and now we know that the Lincoln production process is a completely-effing-serious one. Not only does star Daniel Day-Lewis look remarkable as Lincoln in this new candid photo, but Variety's Jeff Sneider Tweeted a report that he "hasn't broken his Lincoln accent since March" and his "real name doesn't even appear on the call sheet."

Steven Spielberg Doesn't Want Lincoln Biopic to Become 'Political Fodder'

Steven Spielberg Doesn't Want Lincoln Biopic to Become 'Political Fodder'

While discussing the presidential biopic that he is gearing up to shoot in Richmond this fall, Steven Spielberg described what he does not want Lincoln to be. The 2012 title will "not [be] a battlefield movie. There are battles in it, and being in Virginia, we have access to those historic battlefields." Additionally, "the movie will be purposely coming out after next year's election. I didn't want it to become political fodder." On the other hand, Lincoln will chronicle "the great work Abraham Lincoln did in the last months of his life." The drama stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president of the United States alongside Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and John Hawkes. [Orlando Sentinel]
