With lots of talent vying to play honest Abe, Hollywood is on fire with the need to mention every single person who might possibly be a shoe-in to play the titular title role. A choice has finally been made!
According to Variety Benjamin Walker (pictured right; Kinsey) has closed the deal to play Abraham Lincoln in 20th Century Fox’s summer tentpole Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Fox is aiming at a June 22nd, 2012, release for the Tim Burton-produced horror adventure based upon Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel of the same name.
Book Synopsis
When Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the “milk sickness.” Only later did he learn that his mother’s deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln’s father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires. His valiant, bloody fight against the undead was all but lost to history, until Grahame-Smith stumbled upon the secret journal of Abraham Lincoln.
Using the journal as his guide, Seth reconstructs Lincoln’s life story and uncovers the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation. You don’t know Abe. Honest.
