The first trailer and poster for the Abraham Lincoln biopic "The Better Angels" have been released. The film is produced by Terrence Malick ("The Tree of Life") and directed by Malick's longtime editor and second-unit director A.J. Edwards, and it's obvious from the trailer that there are a lot of influences from Malick himself. The poetic drama focuses on the formative years of the future president and the two women who molded him into one of the most revered men in American history. The film stars Braydon Denney, Jason Clarke, Brit Marling, Diane Kruger and Wes Bentley.
"The Better Angels" opens in theaters (limited) on November 7th.

Official Synopsis
"At an isolated log cabin in the harsh wilderness of Indiana circa 1817, the rhythms of love, tragedy, and the daily hardships of life on the developing frontier shaped one of our nation’s greatest heroes: Abraham Lincoln. Using glorious black and white cinematography to conjure an America where the land was raw, The Better Angels sheds new light on the formative years of the future president and the two women who molded him into one of the most revered men in American history. Based on 19th-century interviews with Lincoln’s family members, The Better Angels is a beautiful, insightful, and brilliantly composed feature debut from producer Terrence Malick’s longtime protégé, A.J. Edwards."
