Abraham Lincoln...

Vampire Hunter?!!? Indifferent

 Let me say the audience's reaction to this trailer yesterday was far and away better than the movie could ever possibly be.

ETA: Ok, so it's based on a book which is supposedly based on real journals of Abraham Lincoln who supposedly really DID believe vampires existed and hunted them?!!?  Now I'm losing my mind.  Can you imagine in today's technology age, what would happen to someone's chances for the white house if  it suddenly came out that they believed in vampires.   Of course, I do want to read the book now.

Re: Abraham Lincoln...

  • I didn't read that book but the trailer does look interesting. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was good. Smile

  • I'm intrigued.  For some reason, I've been obsessed with Lincoln.  I think it all started with a story in the post about a forged painting of Lincoln's wife that was recently discovered.  I might have to check this one out.

    Now that I know it's based on something real and not just Tim Burton being on crack one night, I'm definitely more intrigued  than when I first saw the trailer yesterday and when I first posted this a little while ago.     I just ordered the book off Amazon because all the reviews were really good. If it's actually good, I may end up going to see it. Stick out tongue

  • BIL raved about the book to DH and he just got it off the wait list from the library.  Will let you know what he thinks!

    The book's fiction. :) It's like a "mockumentary" a la Best in Show

    When I say  "based on something real"  I do mean based on a book, not based on real life events.

    Ok, whew! 

  • After hearing the title, I hadn't given it a second thought.

    Now I'm intrigued.  The book will go on my Amazon wishlist.  =)

  • I've read it. Stick out tongue  I first read Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, which I enjoyed so much I ventured into this one.

    It's decent.  I was fairly impressed with how well he transfigured P&P into a zombie story while still retaining its original charm and general storyline.  Thus I think he did a decent job with this story which isn't based on something so widely read as P&P (which had the draw of people wanting to re-read the timeless story with some zombies sprinkled in).

    That said, I'm VERY excited to see the movie, which I feel will be one of those instances where cinema will improve upon the literature.

    Ok, whew! 

    Although if Stephanie Meyer really did want to write a 5th   Twilight book, now I think she should somehow work it so that it's discovered that Abe turned into a vampire and Bella dumps Edward for him. 

  • Hehe... This post intrigued me enough to put a hold for the book at the library.. I'm 6th on the list!
  • I told WonderRed and I will tell you guys, this is one of my all time faves! The journals are real, the vampire stuff, Seth added all of that.

  • That trailer cracked me up!!!  I meant to post on FB about it but forgot.  Anyway, I still can't believe that is an actual movie.  The trailer was one of the most bizarre i've ever seen.
