“However history remembers me before I was a President, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth…”
Abraham Lincoln was not only America’s 16th President, but he was also a slayer of vampires. That’s the premise of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Seth Grahame-Smith (who also adapted the book for the screen). Benjamin Walker endured seven hours a day in the make-up chair in order to transform into one of America’s greatest presidents, but the lengthy process was obviously worthwhile as he looks fantastic as the title character.
Set to hit theaters on June 22, 2012, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter also features Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Rufus Sewell, and Alan Tudyk.
The Plot:
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest president and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov bring a fresh and visceral voice to the bloodthirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.
