Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter


The trailer for Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter has been released and I saw it for the first time this morning. I've always loved American History, particularly learning about the Civil War.  I suppose that may have something to do with the fact that my grandfather is a huge Civil War buff, and it has been around as a family topic of discussion from time to time.

Honestly I'm not sure why there haven't been more movies specifically about Abraham Lincoln up until now (at least to my knowledge), and this year we are getting two of them: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and Lincoln staring Daniel Day Lewis (who coincidentally looks creepily like him).  I fully intend on seeing both; Lincoln for a more serious portrayal of the man, the war, the history, etc... and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter for the whimsical ridiculousness of it.  I'm liking the trailer so far.  Totally plausible that Abraham Lincoln could not only save the Union from ruin, but also take down some bad ass vampires with a large ax as well. Didn't realize that Tim Burton was a producer on this project, which is intriguing.  Take a look below.



What do you think?

  1. Hilarious! Scott got Lincoln Vampire Hunter (the book) for Christmas and is almost done with it. He wants to see the movie...I refuse to go with him. It's just TOO ridiculous.
