Benjamin Walker Talks Abraham Lincoln And Hitting Himself In The Face With An AxeFew people outside of the relatively insular world of New York theater knew Walker's name, which made him pretty much an unknown until Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opened last weekend. Yes, Walker was once again playing an American President with a twist, this time portraying the Great Emancipator as a man who fought off Confederate vampire hordes...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-06-25 11:38:42comments
Weekend Box Office: Pixar's Brave Soars To The TopHow many box office hits can one studio make? An even better question: how many number one movies in a row can one studio release?

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter's Anthony Mackie On Martial Arts, Muscles, And TupacWhile director Timur Bekmambetov makes a lot of use of CGI effects, both Mackie and star Benjamin Walker did a ton of their own, extremely physical stunts, which is pretty appropriate for two Juilliard-trained stage veterans who know their way around some stage combat...by | published: 2012-06-21 10:22:04comments
Mary Elizabeth Winstead Was Excited To Grow Old For Abraham Lincoln: Vampire HunterDespite one glorious moment near the end, Mary Todd stays out of the action throughout most of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter-- and Winstead admits that it was hard hearing about the elaborate action sequences staged by director Timur Bekmambetov, while she'd "just sit back in my hoop skirt."...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-06-19 12:50:11comments

Plenty Of Killing Going On In New Clip From Abraham Lincoln: Vampire HunterIt would seem that everything we thought we knew about Abraham Lincoln is completely false. While we all learned about the historic president in school and how he saved our country during the Civil War, it turns out that one very key detail was kept out of the history books: Lincoln was a vampire hunter. And judging by this new clip from the upcoming film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter he's pretty damn good at what he does.Ab...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-06-12 18:28:29comments

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Red-Band Trailer Boasts A Lot Of GoreEarly ads for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter revealed wisps of plot and tons of style, brandishing Timur Bekmambetov's slick action aesthetic like its revenge-seeking hero wields his undead-slaying axe. But amidst the dark and smooth soundtrack, these trailers hid much of the horror movie's gore. Now, Twentieth Century Fox gives into fans' blood lust unleashing a red-band trailer that showcases palpable blows, plenty of gore, and even a little flirtatious lady back....by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-05-24 11:51:31comments
New Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer Has A Strong Dose Of Johnny CashAgain, with Prometheus still fresh in my brain it's hard to be equally dazzled by this, especially with the action and tricky camera shots that seem really reminiscent of director Timur Bekmambetov's previous film, the flashy but forgettable Wanted. The concept is undeniably unique, but Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter still somehow looks really familiar...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-03-18 14:37:07comments
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter International Trailer Offers More Plot DetailsWhile this trailer boasts Bekmambetov's helming of the high-octane action flick Wanted, horror fans know the Kazakhstani director best for his chilling and thrilling, Russian vampire tales Night Watch and Day Watch. From the looks of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter's trailers, these moody movies are the more relevant inspiration as Lincoln seems to share their slick action sensibilities and cool color-scheme punctuated by vibrant and dangerous oranges and reds. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-02-14 11:31:19comments
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter First Trailer RevealedThe style of the clip, obviously, mirrors the bending, twisting fight choreography of Bekmambetov’s past films. But I like that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter seems to be taking a serious tone, because jokey footage might have let the air out of my anticipation bubble. Based on this footage, I’m actually looking forward to seeing the film, more than I was prior to seeing this clip....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-02-13 10:00:11comments

Tim Burton Involved In The Beetlejuice SequelBefore Tim Burton made Johnny Depp his go-to leading man, his recurring star was '80s everyman Michael Keaton. Together the pair made two darkly fun Batman movies, and the delightfully demented poltergeist comedy Beetlejuice in which Keaton famously played the eponymous "ghost with the most." Keaton's game goofiness and aloof appeal easily made him a fan favorite....by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-01-13 08:34:33comments

Rufus Sewell Will Be The Lead Bad Guy In Abraham Lincoln: Vampire HunterSewell is British, which already makes him a villain of all things freedom-loving and American (hear that, colonialists?!?!) , but it's unclear if he was cast for his British accent or a face that screams "I am not afraid of you and could easily kill you with my bare hands."...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-04-12 15:01:02comments
