Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent: A nation of vampire-crazed movie-goers. Which is why Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will of course be a huge box office hit. I know, I know -- that was my first thought, too. Huh? This is gonna be a comedy, right? No? It's an action movie, are you kidding?!
I mean, Lincoln seemed like a pretty cool guy and all, but I have a hard time picturing Honest Abe taking down Eric Northman or the Cullen clan. Then I watched the trailer, and here's the thing: The Abraham Lincoln of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter looks a lot different than the dude you're picturing right now. (He also bears little to no resemblance to the actual Abraham Lincoln, but who cares? Clearly we're taking artistic liberties here.) Benjamin Walker is way hotter than the man on that $5 bill in your pocket.
And he even has experience playing a president (in the Broadway rock opera Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson).
As Lincoln/Walker says in the preview voice-over ...
I shall always think of myself first and foremost as a hunter.
After seeing this movie, will we first and foremost think of Abraham Lincoln taking down vampires with an axe? Hopefully not, but we just might:

looks good!!!
Just the fact that its a different spin on vampire hunting, history, and is a break from the twilight hoop-la, makes it appealing to me.
I am the only person who doesn't see Lincoln as a vampire killer? The concept is just too strange. Lincoln really?
Shhh! Hear that? It's all of the historians in America crying their eyes out over this bastardization of history. Like Americans don't already have enough problems learning and remembering the history of the country.
i wonder if they will make pride prejudice and zombies a book too...
