There's a lot of projects that Timur Bekmambetov is connected to, but there can only be one that he'll be directing really soon. That comes in the form of the novel adaptation "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter".

"That one I'm prepping to direct myself. it is not a comedy at all -- it is a very entertaining, epic history lesson for millions and millions of teenagers. If you remember Nightwatch, it is maybe in the vein of that kind of movie."

Seth Grahame-Smith's "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" cetners on Lincoln, who learns at an early age that his mother was killed by a supernatural predator. This provokes his bloody but curiously undocumented lifelong vendetta against vampires and their slave-owning allies. Production is expected to start up in the winter if everything goes according to plan.

In regards to "Wanted 2", a project that's been on Bekmambetov's radar for awhile. Well, it'll still be awhile according to him. "We are working on it now, but I think it will be after Lincoln because James (McAvoy) is working on the 'X-Men: First Class'." Does anyone want a "Wanted 2"?

This guy has been linked to SOOOO many new projects that my head is dizzy on just what it is he does have coming out anytime soon. But I must say the idea of an Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a pretty novel approach lol
