The "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" Trailer Is A Thing On The Internet



I'm curious as to what people think of this film. Is there any excitement at seeing our greatest president wail away at the undead with his axe, or does the mash up of horror, history and classical literature Seth Graham-Smith brings the table fill you with the kind of irritation reserved for rolling around naked in poison oak?

I made it two thirds of the way through the novel before submitting to tedium. I'm not sure if I'll pick it up beofe the film comes out. On the other hand, there's no denying it's a fun concept for a summer popcorn film, and I love Timbur Bekmambetov's Russian horror tinged action flicks Night Watch and Day Watch. If anyone can bring out the best in the material, it;s him, as he knows how to shoot hyper kinetic action. Plus, we've seen enough Nazi zombies get laid to waste on screen. Confederate vampires are a nice change of pace.

I guess I'm still on the fence after watching the trailer, but I'm edging closer to the "will see it" side after this trailer.
