Sewell Grows A Set Of Fangs

Rufus Sewell ("Dark City) has been cast as the vampire villain Adam in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reports Variety.



Based on the Seth Grahame-Smith written book--The story sees President Abraham Lincoln reimagined as the ass-kicking nemesis of vampires everywhere, a man who saw his own mother killed by a bloodsucker when just a young boy, and who has vowed vengeance ever since. Yet it also weaves in historical facts about his term in the White House

Benjamin Walker will play Abe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anthony Mackie and Dominic Cooper also star

Timur Bekmambetov will both direct and co-produce the pic with Tim Burton and Jim Lemley.

Sewell can do period bad guys very well. See A Knight's Tale, The Legend of Zorro,  and The Illusionist

The pic is already pegged for release on release on June 22nd 2012
