Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer Drops

We've been following Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter for a few months now, ever since Seth Grahame-Smith started releasing his interesting mashups of classics and historical tales interwoven with horror elements. Remember 'Pride And Prejudice And Zombies?' Well, the surprisingly well written followup to that featured a tale of Abraham Lincoln and his vendetta again vampires, who were responsible for the death of his mother.

This trailer kind of surprised me because it doesn't take a campy approach or feature Abraham Lincoln delivering terrible one liners like, 'YOU'VE BEEN EMANCIPATED.' It actually looks like a dark, well directed film that actually might take itself somewhat seriously despite the somewhat campy concept. I'm a little wary about Tim Burton's involvement as a producer considering his last few movies, but I'm sure that having Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) at the directorial helm will ensure that this movie is at least pretty damn entertaining. My expectations were at Van Helsing levels for this one, but this trailer definitely blew those expectations away.
