If you really believe the headline then you are in for a rude awaking. We finally have a detailed teaser trailer for Timur Bekmambetov’s adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s best selling novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. If you didn’t know Lincoln use to hunt vampires leading up to his presidency then you need to watch this trailer right now!
Lets see, we have a mystical axe that can be hurled around like a samurai sword, one of our most beloved presidents chopping down not only vampires, but also tress with one strike, we have Johnny Cash talking in the background and a flaming railway fight. Sounds like the making of a awesome movie right?
I know this film looks extremely silly and dumb to some people, but to me it looks like it could be pretty fun. Will it shock and awe the audience and be nominated for a ton of awards? No, but from what I have heard about the book, the film should be a fun night out at the movies.
If you are still having difficulties with coming to terms with the quick scene flashes you just saw, here is the synopsis for the film:
The film explores the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold history that shaped our nation. As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) witnesses the shocking death of his mother, leading him on a path to an ongoing war – and ultimately to the presidency – he chronicles in a hidden diary. The journal reveals the incredible story of a clandestine warrior who never stopped fighting for the country he led and the people he loved
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter features Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alan Tudyk, Anthony Mackie, Rufus Sewell, Erin Wasson and Dominic Cooper. The film is scheduled to hit theatres June 22nd
Additionally, late last night the international trailer was released for the film and is a much better trailer then the Domestic one I feel. Check it out as well for new scenes and a different set up.
