Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (2012) Live Chat with Rufus Sewell, Seth Graham Smith, Timur Bekmambetov, and Benjamin Walker

The novelist, the antagonist, the protagonist, and the director of 20th Century Fox's Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter(2012) up for release June 22, 2012, chat.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is an historical reimagining of the bio of the 16th president, played by rising star Benjamin Walker, whose action is diabolically opposed by the mysteriously dark Adam, Grand Lord of Vampires, played by Rufus Sewell.

A killer cast is directed by Timur Bekmambetov from a story written in the blood of revisionist history by literary novelist/producer/raconteur Seth Graham-Smith, with the executive production of Tim Burton and Jim Lemley.

The cinematic 3D film whorls you into the action, next to the creatures of the night as you feel their horrific breath on your throat and feel them fill their lungs, close their eyes, and present their fangs to drain your fainting pulse.

The film reportedly comes with complementary 3D eyeglasses and a polypropline cover to prevent blood spatters into audience popcorn. It's possible that this is an exaggeration, however.

See some video chat below.

Trouble in Paradise . . . .

"O fairest flower no sooner blown but blasted . . .
Summer's chief honor if thou hadst outlasted
Bleak winter's force . . . thought to kiss
But kill'd alas, and then bewail'd his fatal bliss."
"On the Death of a Fair Infant Dying of a Cough"
John Milton 1628

Legendary Pictures announces that John Milton (and the rest of us) will wait longer to see Paradise Lost in cinema.
