Abraham Lincoln, lawyer, statesman, president. He lived a long and varied life but until now little has been said of how throughout his illustrious life he moonlighted as a vampire hunter, taking out the supernatural trash while keeping a steady hand on the tiller of his numerous responsibilities.

Seth Grahame-Smith has certainly found his literary-supernatural soupy-twists to be a fairly lucrative career move, such is the popularity of his Zombie insertion into Jane Austen’s bonnets and bodices or the film in question here – the fantastical alternate history of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Timur Bekmambetov has already bagged Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper, [...]

If cast, Phoenix will be joining relative newcomer [...]
For an actor, playing the part of a famous historical figure has often seen as high integrity gold, but few could have predicted this.
