We’ve been getting a nice array of images from ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER recently, as 20th Century Fox begins to really rev up its marketing machine for the summer release. But here’s our first look at the man in action, so to speak, in the form of a behind-the-scenes video from MTV. Must say, Benjamin Walker looks pretty terrific as Abe, and he appears to be taking the job very seriously.
In addition, a new poster has been revealed, which you can see below. It’s a bit too photoshop-y for me, but I guess that just comes with the territory nowadays; I kind of liked the previous version(s) better. What do you think?
When Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the “milk sickness.” Only later did he learn that his mother’s deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln’s father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires. His valiant, bloody fight against the undead was all but lost to history, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon the secret journal of Abraham Lincoln.
Using the journal as his guide, Seth reconstructs Lincoln’s life story and uncovers the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation. You don’t know Abe. Honest.
In addition to Walker, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER stars Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Robin McLeavy, Rufus Sewell, Martin Csokas, Jimmi Simpson and Alan Tudyk. See Abe kick some vampire tail on JUNE 22nd.
