So what do you think of the new red band trailer for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER? While it brings a certain intensity and gore, ramping up the violence level to 11, I still can’t say I’m very impressed. The title alone is atrocious, and another in a long line of ridiculous mashups such as PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES (also being developed for the big screen), but I’m not going to be one of those assholes who judge the merit of a film by the title alone. The two trailers released for the film so far, however, even with the fantastic amount of violence within the most recent of the two, just isn’t doing it for me. Other than the ridiculous premise of Abraham Lincoln spending his early days as a kung fu master vampire hunter (albeit a successful one), the CGI looks incredibly distracting and cartoonish. I understand the necessity of CGI when it comes to certain things but I will never, EVER abide computer generated blood.

Produced by Tim Burton, Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, and written by Seth Grahame-Smith based on his novel of the same name, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER hits theaters June 22.

SYNOPSIS:

“Grahame-Smith’s revision of the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold history that shaped our nation. As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln 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.”

Ah, what can I say about ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER other than I find the idea appalling at best, and a sickeningly vile attempt to cash in at worst. That being said, however, if you’re unfamiliar with some of the details of this nightmare, let me fill you in. The film is directed and produced by Timur Bekmambetov (NIGHT WATCH, WANTED) with producing duties also picked up by Tim Burton (whose films you’re aware of if you’re reading this and who, I’ve come to believe, has gone insane).

The film will star Benjamin Walker (narrowly beating our Nicholas Cage which is a real shame as, given the insane idea behind this flick, would’ve been perfect for the role) as ‘ol honest Abe himself. Also starring are Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rufus Sewell, Jimmi Simpson, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Robin McLeavy, Alan Tudyk, Marton Csokas, and Cameron M. Brown. Opening here in the U.S. on June 22 (an odd time slot), the film explores the secret vamp-killing life of our 16th president, and the untold history that shaped our nation.

SYNOPSIS:
