Full Teaser Trailer for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

Ever since 2009, Seth Grahame-Smith has been publishing literary mash-ups--blending together classics with sci-fi/horror staples like zombies and vampires. The first book Grahame-Smith published, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, was the first to be chosen for a film adaptation, but after losing three separate directors, it's been stuck in development hell. However, Grahame-Smith's next book had better luck attracting a director/producer team, the acclaimed Timur Bekmemtov (Wanted) and producer Tim Burton. Together, they've fashioned a new history for one of America's most beloved Presidents - Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Here's the sysnopsis:

The film explores the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold history that shaped our nation. As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) witnesses the shocking death of his mother, leading him on a path to an ongoing war – and ultimately to the presidency – he chronicles in a hidden diary. The journal reveals the incredible story of a clandestine warrior who never stopped fighting for the country he led and the people he loved.

I like the use of Johnny Cash, not as a singer but just as a darn good voice. The visuals look pretty cool, though a little more of the story would be appreciated. Hopefully the next trailer will be more obliging. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter stars Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alan Tudyk, Anthony Mackie, Rufus Sewell, Erin Wasson, and Dominic Cooper, and it will be released June 22nd. Do you think Abraham Lincoln can be reinvented as a vampire-killing action hero?
