Hot on the heels of the stunningly exciting news that The Asylum is embarking on their own supernatural Abraham Lincoln biopic comes a new image from ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, Timur Bekmambetov’s action-horror film that documents Honest Abe’s lifelong battle against an unholy army of bloodsuckers. The pic, which you can see above, appeared in USA Today.
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.
Starring Benjamin Walker, Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Robin McLeavy, Rufus Sewell, Jimmi Simpson and Alan Tudyk – ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER stakes out theaters June 22nd.
