The new red band trailer for Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (ALVH) has been posted. My initial thought process: Literally if I see one more vampire related TV show, movie or book I'm going to jab a stake through my own heart. And WHAT IS THIS MOVIE?! "Oh it's not just another vampire flick, this one's got Abraham Lincoln." WTF Hollywood, stop making such crap (Oh and you Tim Burton, we get it, between this one and Dark Shadows, you're into vampires right now).
That was all before I saw this trailer...
This movie looks cool! Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted), ALVH follows Abraham Lincoln's revenge killing spree after his mother is murdered by a vampire.
Oh right, that makes complete sense. We're talking standard stuff here. Right?
Yes, the concept is still over the top ridiculous. (I almost would have liked the ridiculousness to be acknowledged in the film with more of a joking tone.) Yet -- and I'm embarrassed to admit this has happened -- this trailer's been able to get me on board for the film. It looks great! VERY weird...
