Just before Spielberg's epic about the last four months of Abe Lincoln's life finally moves on, we went on location on Capitol Hill in downtown Richmond. Amidst tent encampments, fake snow and a polystyrene White House portico we roamed... James Spader, Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field were not in residence, as a big night shoot was scheduled, but we got to chat to production staff and reorganise wood piles and marvel at ammunition boxes. Released in November 2012, once we have a new president on this side of the pond (or perhaps the same one), this will be essential viewing for all!
