First Look: Abraham Lincoln is the Vampire Hunter
Edward Cullen should better be hiding himself right now because Abraham Lincoln is out to get him. The Vampire Hunter released the first poster for the much awaited vampire-slaying president to showcase his moves on big screen.
20th Century Fox finally reveals the first awesome poster of the film "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and it looks enticing enough for film fans to rave about The president, played by actor Benjamin Walker, is sitting on the Lincoln Memorial but it isn't his killer eyes that catches the attention but the axe he's got a hold onto.
The film is set to be released by June 22 later this year, and yes, it has already got a lot of hype going on.
Based on the best-selling novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, the story revolves around the life of Abe Lincoln and his dedication to destroy all blood suckers out in the world as revenge for the murder of his mother. The other interesting part is that the president is doing all this with only the use of an axe.
Producer Jim Lemley shares that the movie isn't only about the termination of Cullen kind but a "very committed version of Lincoln's life" and that "it's what you don't know about Abraham Lincoln, turned on its head."
Bekmambetov and Tim Burton are also working behind the film so fans would most likely expect a touch of Burton's inner madness. With the author of the book himself set as the screenwriter, it's most likely that the film won't deviate far from the novel.
America should also keep their eyes on the main actor whose playing the famous Abe because Benjamin Walker is the perfect reincarnation of the US President. In an interview with MTV, Walker spills he had to do more than read back on Abe Lincoln history and lose weight but the actor was even trained in some serious axe fighting.
Along with Benjamin Walker, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" also stars Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Robin McLeavy, Dominic Cooper and Jimmi Simpson.
A fair warning to vampire fans, you won't see any sparkling, swooning and not to mention sappy love struck blood suckers here. So it's best to leave the emotional drama to Edward Cullen and pick up the axe and support Abe Lincoln instead.
