Fox Sets 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' to Hit June 2012« FirstShowing.net

I'm not sure why, but all the news coming from the movie studios today involves announcing major release dates. Universal secured a big batch of2012+ datesfor their projects, includingThe Bourne Legacy,Snow White and the Huntsman,47 Ronin,OuijaandThe Dark Tower, but that's not the only news. 20th Century Fox set aJune 22nd, 2012release for the upcoming Timur Bekmambetov directed adaptationAbraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Yes this is that awesomerevised classicwritten by Seth Grahame-Smith (also ofPride& Prejudice& Zombies) that the guy ofWantedandNight Watchis directing. Sounds great to me!

TheAbraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunterstory kicks off with the revelation that Lincoln's mother was killed by a supernatural creature, which fueled his passion to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers. The book depicts the 16th US president as an axe-throwing highly trained vampire killer. Awesome. Casting has only just begun, so all rumors are just that. Thought, itwouldbe perfect it he could get Liam Neeson to play Lincoln, considering he's no longer inSpielberg's biopic. Adding this to the 2012 line-up will only help make that summer look even more enticing. There is still a long way to go, but I'm already looking forward to this!
