I've been seeing the big cardboard cutout for that at local theaters for months now.
Still waiting for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Looks like it will be as awesome as Iron Sky.
That's going on the list to watch. Looks to be a few good movies this year coming this way.
Going to miss the fun and nice people here at CoH. Feel free to add me on PS3/XBox360

Currently playing: Mass Effect 3(PS3) Minecraft(X360) Skyrim(X360).
If this movie doesn't end with Ben Franklin emerging from a temporal vortex inside his steam powered time machine and urging Lincoln to "go back" with him to fight off the legions of undead British regulars, then I'll be sorely disappointed.

Some fireworks shoot up into the sky and seed the clouds as they explode causing storm clouds to rapidly form and ZAP! a bolt of lightning strikes the time machine giving it the energy to open the time vortex.
And as Ben and Lincoln return to the past we slowly zoom in on a close up of the expression on David Tennants face who is on vacation in Washington DC and witnessed the time machine leaving.
On the one hand, this looks ****ing awesome. On the other hand, once this is released in theaters, we're going to have people who think Lincoln was really a vampire hunter.
Goodbye, I guess.

Not really seeing a downside to that. If Lincoln was a vampire hunter that means vampires were behind slavery.

Well see, it was powered by lightning and fireworks at first, but he went a bit ahead into the future before he stopped to pick up Lincoln, and used some future steam tech to improve his time machine. That's why it can fly now!|

I'm going to see this. And I'm going to love it, by George.

Sadly we know history is becoming distorted and misunderstood by much of today's youth. I suppose I'd almost rather have people thinking Lincoln was a heroic vampire hunter than not know him at all. *shrugs*|

Anyway watching this trailer I couldn't help myself get a big cheesy grin on my face. Like Iron Sky the "re-imagining" of history in this case looks to be totally ridiculous. But somehow despite the silliness they both seem jump into full bore into their premises and aspire to some kind of transcendent "Army of Darkness" type coolness that few genre movies manage to obtain. I hope they both live up to their twisted takes on history.

"And for us this is the end of all stories, and we can mostly say they lived happily ever after. But for them it was the beginning of the real story. All there life in this world and all there adventures in Narnia had only be the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of The Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before" - C.S Lewis, The Last Battle.

I didn't know the latter was a book, but I saw the former at the store and... seriously considered picking it up at least.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end

While this movie looks extraordinarily goofy, surely its fantasy world where American slavery is an unmitigated evil further exploited by bloodsucking undead is better than that of Gone With the Wind, where slavery was just the antebellum South's "peculiar institution". In that respect, vampires here are thematically more interesting than zombies in Jane Austen (what are Regency zombies supposed to be a metaphor for?).

Somehow the trailer didn't do it for me as much as Iron Sky's did, not sure why. Still, it's on my radar, I'm still willing to give it a chance.
So Lincoln Logs are uncut stakes...

Why havent they made a movie with Abe Lincoln that has him having a nazelly voice like they say he had in real life?
It could add some comedy to it!

And how about his predilection for corny (if not bawdy) jokes? This movie's producers missed a huge opportunity by not casting Jim Carey in the lead role.
