Poster is so so. Its a teaser of a poster I mean we can't even see Abs face. But the book was great and the movie will be good too I am sure. I like Tim Burton.
20th Century Fox and IGN Movies are showing off a lenticular poster for the upcoming supernatural adventure, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. One shows the vampire hunting hero from Seth Grahame-Smith's best-selling novel in the forest while the other sits in the Oval Office. See both versions down below. The horror thriller will star Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson, Robin McLeavy, Alan Tudyk and Rufus Sewell. Director Timur Bekmambetov led the production, based on a screenplay that writer Grahame-Smith adapted from his own novel.
Plot Concept: Indiana, 1818. Moonlight falls through the dense woods that surround a one-room cabin, where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his suffering mother's bedside. She's been stricken with something the old-timers call "Milk Sickness."
"My baby boy..." she whispers before dying.
Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire.
When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.
While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years.
Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history behind the Civil War and uncovering the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter arrives in theaters June 22, 2012.
Poster is so so. Its a teaser of a poster I mean we can't even see Abs face. But the book was great and the movie will be good too I am sure. I like Tim Burton.
halfbloodprincess you made take a second look but like I knew it's Timur directing, the guy from Wanted and the Night and Day Watch films. I like his style but his films have lacked something as far as I'm concerned. Still I'll be there for this when it opens plus it's in 3D to boot, ahhh yeah!
Very awesome book. Read it through a second time to be sure I didn't miss anything the first time. I hope that the pacing of the movie matches that of the read, and that the action isn't watered down for the big screen.
I like this. And halfblood you are right, this is a teaser. I don't know if alot of people are familiar with the book, so seeing Lincoln in this context and the title will get an audience interested.
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal except for the vampires. Them mofos have to die."
And quote of the day once again goes to Hanso... or is that Abe Lincoln? :)
LOL....I have no idea if this is going to be good or not, but everytime I hear about it it makes me laugh. Such a silly concept especially with Spielberg's AL film coming up. But, I'd love to be proven wrong.
Hanso: Thanks for adding to the laughter.
This one I might actually see in the theater...as long as it's not 3D that is.
I agree the book is great and as you read it you can't help but wonder what's factual and what's not in parts... not including the vampires of course.
Great book!!!
Can't wait to see this
