It’s just been announced that WANTED and NIGHT WATCH director Timur Bekmambetov’s adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER has been moved for release to mirror the US dates, it’ll now open in the UK on June 20th!
Producer Tim Burton has helped Bekmambetov along with this intriguing premise. It involves the legendary former 16th US President and his bloodsucker-hunting pursuits. By day he’s the statesman but by night, he sets out to avenge his Mother’s death by hunting down and killing vampires and their slave-owning helpers. There’s one thing we know, this is going to be original! Check out the trailer:
Newcomer Benjamin Walker is headlining as the aformentioned President, and is joined by Anthony Mackie, Rufus Sewell, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Alan Tudyk. ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER opens on June 20th.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
