"There Is Darkness Everywhere Mr. President"

The newest teaser trailer for the comic book adaptation of this summer's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is here...And I have to say that thus far I really like what I see here.

Based on the Seth Grahame-Smith written book--The story sees President Abraham Lincoln re imagined 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.

Simon Kinberg and Grahame-Smith wrote the adapted script

Benjamin Walker will play Abe, while the great Rufus Sewell ("Dark City) has been cast as the vampire villain Adam Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alan Tudyk Anthony Mackie and Dominic Cooper also star

Timur Bekmambetov both directs and co-produces the pic with Tim Burton and Jim Lemley.

The pic is pegged for release on release on June 22nd this year.
