(CBS News) Movies usually get teased with a trailer and introduced at a premiere.
But in the case of Steven Spielberg's upcoming film "Lincoln," the full-length trailer received an online premiere Thursday, teased by a short trailer released earlier this week.
The trailer premiered during a Google+ hangout with the film's director, Spielberg, and cast member Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
"Lincoln" stars Daniel Day-Lewis and chronicles the last few months of the president's life, as he works to end the Civil War and abolish slavery.
The film also stars Sally Field, David Strathairn , James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones. The screenplay, written by Tony Kushner, is based on the book "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
"Lincoln," the film, will open in theaters nationwide on Nov. 16.

The absolute minute the people allowed the government to remove God and His divine leadership from the capitol of this country, and allowed the taking of God away from the children of this country, the people lost their bases of proudly supporting their country. It became a free for all, each fighting only for what they themselves could gain, not realizing by doing so they were giving up everything.
People allowed their government to no longer be a government by the people, of the people and for the people. Instead they allowed it to become a power house of broken promises and a 'what can it do for me...me...me' physical force.
The government gained everything.
So to say we have lost our patriotism over the past 4 years, just isn't true.
What this country has gained over the past 4 years is the realization of what they lost a long time ago coming to maturity and fruition inside the White House. The realization that the President of this country has absolutely NO patriotic loyalties and his answer to everything happening in the world is, "I'm sorry. It's all America's fault", and a First Lady who made the statement, in front of millions of people, when her husband was elected, "This IS the FIRST time I have ever been proud of this country."
It's taken 40 years for us to get where we are today and unfortunately, the American voters are populated with young adults who have never lived in a patriotic society. Young adults who have been groomed from day one to spit on our own Constitution, our own freedoms, and to completely disregard all those in the past who have fought and died for their very right to do so. For some it will take much longer for them to realize it; a tragedy in the making so many are completely blind to.
You have to come from a country that has had to fight for it's own existence it's entire life, and come from a family who has had family members pay the ultimate price, to understand Patriotism has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
