Wanted to drop a quick note on the thread, thanks to Roger and Betty for welcoming me to the forum. As Erik said there was tremendous effort and commitment to accuracy and authenticity. I can attest to his and Adrian's work on set and their passion for the story. I myself found Betty's work when studying Powell which was very fascinating and helpful in preparing, so was definitely delighted to hear she ended up getting involved. I've been blessed to have worked on a number of historical and period films (in Texas at the moment for a premiere right now actually where I play Col. George Washington) and have come across a great deal of feedback on such projects. I've heard from a lot of history buffs who are the proverbial blind men pointing out their particular piece of the elephant. I sometimes wonder if people realize there is technically no film that can satisfy all history buffs (perhaps a bit esoteric). Humans are intrinsically subjective and often have difficulty agreeing on perspectives on things that just happened, let alone through the telescope of hundreds of years. There are certainly films that don't make the effort to find out what is commonly agreed as the facts, but I'm looking forward to seeing Killing Lincoln with some of you and trust that people find it raises the bar!

Anyways I would be interested to hear people's thoughts on the topic of how opinions and disparate historical records factor in, specifically in the context of portraying them on film where you must make specific, singular choices (as opposed to a book where one can leave it as an exercise to the reader's imagination to deconflict).

Hi Josh, welcome to the forum. I live in the UK, and can't wait to see your portrayal as Lewis.
