Steven Spielberg was on 60 Minutes talking about the movie, although the piece really centered about him.

However, here is a video from 60 Minutes Overtime that focused principally on the movie.

During the interview (the part which did air on Sunday night), the interviewer, Lesley Stahl asked Spielberg if this movie was different than ones he had made in the past:

Lesley Stahl: There’s not a lot of action. There’s no Spielberg special effects.

Steven Spielberg: Right.

Lesley Stahl: It’s a movie about process and politics. Have you ever done a movie even remotely–

Steven Spielberg: Never. Like this?

Lesley Stahl: Not even close.

Steven Spielberg: Never. No. I knew I could do the action in my sleep at this point in my career. In my life, the action doesn’t hold any– it doesn’t attract me anymore.

Narrator: With only one brief battle scene, the movie’s more like a stage play with lots of dialog as Lincoln cajoles and horse trades for votes.
