Is there really an Abe Lincoln vampire hunter movie ?

[Brazoo]

Those Asylum movies are called "Mockbusters" and they're all just dumpster worthy...

Haha - "Mockbusters" - I've never heard that before. That's great!

I've never actually watched an Asylum movie, but I think the posters and trailers are hilarious.

Outside of like 4 Movies this summer ...., Nobody's Box Office Take is Great. It never really is either. You can Never Validate a Box Office Total as it relates to a Movie being good either.

Lincoln's box office debut is looking pretty bad. Once again, I think there is only so much you can validate from a title. I think the average person looked at it and just said, "Huh?"

I like the idea of Franklinstein. The monster could fight in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, be the only survivor of the Alamo, fight in no-man's land in WWI and land at Normandy in WWII.

Sort of a Forrest Gump with re-animation!

I don't think the Idea sounds Stupid at all .... based on how much of a Bad Arse this Guy was in his Youth ..., and How the New Current Hollywood thing is Super Heroes....., So they Made him into a Super Hero Vampire Slayer. .... It's not that far Fetched .

Lincoln was a wrestler in his youth, and entered more than a few competitions.

I should also add that Lincoln really was kind of a bad arse president. He was probably one of the most mentally and physically strong presidents of the U.S. Not a lot of people know that. He looks skinny when he was president which was probably a result of stressing out over the Civil War and barely sleeping, but look at pictures of him when he was young. He was about as tough as they come.

The only difference is that this was a book...a well written book at that (I think even on the N.Y. Times Best Seller list for a while). It will already have a built in audience from book readers who are interested and if they try to at least keep it as close to the book as possible; it should do well at the box office. A lot of 150 year Civil War Anniversaries this year plus a blockbuster Lincoln movie being released in 2013? by Spielberg.

Heh, it turns out this is a series. Check out the video for Pride and Prejudice and Seamonsters near the bottom of the link.

Ben Franklin meets Frankenstein?

Good call on that title.

[MIB41]

To me, this movie is getting the same reaction another film got a few years ago... Snakes on a plane. It's just an odd title. And lots of people talked about it. But no one went to see it or liked it after they saw it. I think you can likely place this with that film. I just can't take the concept seriously. What's next? Ben Franklin meets Frankenstein?

If you have HBO's on Demand ..., they got a 12minute Preview to this Flick ..., Looks Great.

^Yeah, those are my thoughts, and concerns on the movie as well. He fumbled a lot in the early stages of his hunting days in the book, and never showed any super human strength. The scene where he shatters the tree is way over the top, as is the aerial ballet.

I really liked the book as well which is why I'm interested in seeing the flick. As was already stated, the book is historically accurate when it discusses the life of Abraham Lincoln and slowly introduces the vampire story. I also thought it was very clever and would probably pass as believable if you have an inkling to believe that vampires exist. The movie will be really good if they are able to weave the historical elements into it but I have my doubts. The trailer makes Lincoln look like a Ninja, superhero, axe wielding phenom while in the book; it was simply his mortal strength and ability to use an axe as a weapon from using it to chop wood for his family.
