    Is there really an Abe Lincoln vampire hunter movie ?

    Was dozing off on the couch and thought I heard a trailer on TV for a new movie about Abe Lincoln as a vampire hunter.

    Did I dream that ?

    It comes out June 22nd. When I first heard about it, I thought what a stupid idea, but after seeing the trailer it looks really good.

        Wait a second... I saw it in a Redbox like a week ago. Was going to rent it but didn't get a chance. If it's not out yet to theaters, what the heck did I see?

            I read the book, it was a decent quick read. I'll see the film I think.

                  I'd probably watch that as well

                    I actually enjoyed the book more than I thought I would but I will probably wait to watch the movie until it plays on one of the movie channels.

                      Ah, thank you. For a half a second I though I may have had a Twilight Zone moment. Whew!

                        The book is far better than it has any right to be, based on the ludicrous concept. My wife brought it home from the library, and I somewhat reluctantly started reading it. The author sucks you in with historical accuracy and slowly introduces the idea of vampires into the mix.

                        The movie looks to take the action in the book into Matrix-like super-human realms, which has me a bit concerned. The book is far more subdued in that area. Still, I'll probably see it.

                          this might end up being a rental for me. I didn't even know there was a book.

                            The trailers make it look like it's super-CGI and designed to be in 3-D

                            This doesn't give me any hope because usually moves that are made like that mostly appeal to kids because they basically look like video games

                              I can't vouch for the movie, but the book is a good read. I think it got a bit carried away in the end though. If you have any interest in Lincoln or the Civil War, it's a neat alternative history view...with vampires.
