Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. A behind the scenes featurette...

No I am not getting commission here, there just happen to have been 3 releases for this film on consecutive days. (Although I’m always looking for work, Mr. Tim Burton sir.) Today we get a look behind the scenes as director Timur Bekmambetov (Nightwatch, Daywatch) and Tim Burton give us some info on why this crazy sounding idea is so irresistible to them. Honesty, I am really looking forward to this, if for no other reason that I’m looking forward to seeing Bekambetov back in the twisted horror mode of his Nightwatch & Daywatch films.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Tim Burton’s video intro...

Synopsis...

“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of one of the greatest US presidents, and the untold story that shaped a nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the bloodthirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history's greatest hunter of the undead.”
