This movie has had a lot of rumours circled around it as last month I seem to remember reading on a link from Empire Magazine that Joaquime Pheonix was going to do a Vampire Abraham Lincoln film which I took with a pinch of salt as with everything that he says like how he was going to give up acting for rapping (Joke), he and Casey Afleck made a documentary (Joke) turns out to be jokes.
However, I now read that Tim Burton is going to be producing this movie with Timur Bekmambetov directing. Seeing who is producing this movie has got me a little excited. Also Rufus Sewell being Abraham 'nemesis evil vampire Adam'. Just thinking about it why on earth would Abraham Lincoln need a nemesis. I thought that the only people that have nemesis's are comic book characters like 'Supeerman' or 'Spiderman'.
The story to this film is that: Lincoln finds the 16th president of the United States (Benjamin Walker) battling the undead and slave-owning southerners in his campaign against injustice and blood-sucking fiends.
We meet the young Lincoln as his mother his slaughtered by the vamps, and he swears revenge. He’s tutored in the noble art of slaying the creatures by friendly fang club member Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper) and also ends up meeting his future wife, Mary (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
The film will delve into the idea that the vampire conflict was one of the real reasons the Civil War started.
This sounds a little bit far fetched for me but I guess it shows what the world of Movies can do with using a historical figure and making him into a 'Van Helsing' character.
