Spoof: Steven Spielberg Filming Obama Biopic Starring Daniel Day-Lewis

Posted on April 28, 2013

During his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C. last night, President Obama revealed that his good friend Steven Spielberg is making a biopic about his life. He said he got ahold of some behind the scenes footage from HBO and showed the crowd this video. In it, Spielberg explains that after the success of Lincoln he wanted to make Obama. He said he chose Daniel Day-Lewis to play President Obama, because he's so good at getting inside a character's head. He did have some trouble with the prosthetic ears, though. Tracey Morgan co-stars as Joe Biden. Take a look:
