Four score and seven years ago (this week), Seth Grahame-Smith released Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a book about — you guessed it, honest Abe as a vampire hunter. In addition to the Civil War, of course. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Tim Burton and Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov will be joining forces to bring Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to the big screen. Both are not said to be directing the film, but collaborating alongside Jim Lemley.

Given Burton’s previous work and his nature of being one of the more eccentric Hollywood directors, I’d say vampires are right up his alley. Abraham Lincoln as a vampire hunter on the other hand…should be interesting.

Anyone read this book? Would you watch this movie?
