I wanted to share a preview of an upcoming movie with you all. I first saw this preview while waiting for The Hunger Games to begin. The theatre cracked up laughing when they saw the title – however, I’m sure they are not familiar with the trend of late to merge classic stories or historical events/characters with a supernatural element.
Seth Grahame-Smith is the writer of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies as well as Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter – the later of which is coming out in theatres in June 2012 and the former is currently in production stages.
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is based on the premise that Lincoln had a secret mission to rid the US of vampires – and all of this is outlined in his secret diaries. I have not read the book, although it is on my TBR pile, however my boyfriend has and enjoyed it. Here is his review, at Lions and Men, if you would like to get a feel for the book.
Anyway – as laughable as the premise may be, what you see on the screen looks quite stunning – and we will likely be going to see it.
After watching the preview, what do you think?

I can't wait for it. I have been looking forward to this movie for a while.
ReplyDeleteI think if it was just me, I would probably wait for the DVD, however because my boyfriend read it and wants to see it we will splurge for the theatre.
DeleteI'll wait for video but it does look quite stunning indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the work Tim Burton does and I think this will be interesting. It is certainly something up his alley!
DeleteI loved the book. Will wait for the movie.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the book, but heard it was good.
DeleteI will definitely be seeing it. I have the book and plan to read it before seeing the movie. It does look most excellent.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like The Hunger Games?
I hope you enjoy it. I LOVED the Hunger Games - the book more than the movie, but it was, in my opinion, one of the best book to movie adaptations in awhile.
DeleteI have to say I rented this movie on a whim and then was totally taken in by a real interesting story line and decent visual effects. Overall a nice, re-freshening in context spin on vampire myth. I really enjoyed it.
