20th Century Fox just released an interesting second trailer for the upcoming fantasy flick Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  The movie did caught my attention before but because I'm still preoccupied by some other upcoming movie, I hardly took the chance to check the new developments about this film.  Well either way here's the trailer, watch it after the jump.

“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” explores the secret life of one of the greatest US presidents, and the untold story that shaped a nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of "Wanted") bring a fresh and visceral voice to the bloodthirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history's greatest hunter of the undead.

Based on the mash-up novel by Seth Grahame-Smith of which he also co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Kinberg (best known for his work in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”), Benjamin Walker stars at the titular character on his quest for bloodthirsty vampires and trying to end a war where only the living can kill the undead. Starring alongside Walker in this vein-thumping film are Rufus Sewell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Alan Tudyk and Dominic Cooper.

Hmmm I know people maybe very excited and hyped by this movie but personally, what I'm just seeing is a bloody twisted tale of a non-fictional icon. It is interesting but not that exciting. It will take me more than the fact that this is produced by Tim Burton to put my whole faith over it.  For now I'm reserving my judgement before I finally see the film.


Opens in local cinemas on July 4, 2012 “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” is from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
