Combining a retelling of the Civil War with a horror tale of bloodthirsty vampires, both the screenplay and the original novel were written by Seth Grahame-Smith Lincoln. In the movie, Lincoln (played by Benjamin Walker) wields an axe and slays evil spirits, avenges his mother’s death, emancipates slaves and tries to save his country from the secession of states.
The film, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and produced by Tim Burton, also stars Rufus Sewell, Anthony Mackie and Dominic Cooper. It’s slated to open in June.
Readers, what do you think of the history-horror mashup?
