Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter's Walker, Winstead & Simpson Interviews

Celebrity Everything interviews Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter's Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jimmi Simpson on the vagaries of 19th century American life and politics.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is a film reimaging the biography of the 16th American president in an alternate history that contains a vampire nation.  Orphaned of his mother early in life, Lincoln vows to empty the new world of the undead.  Mentored by Henry Sturgess, played by British actor Dominic Cooper, Lincoln employs a silver-edged axe to wreak mayhem and blood on his blood-sucking enemies.

Adam and Valoma, played by accomplished actor Rufus Sewell and supermodel and new-comer actor Erin Wassen, are king and princess of the vampire nation.

Lincoln's compatriots, Will Johnson and Joshua Speed, played by actors Anthony Mackie and Jimmi Simpson, support his quest to end vampires culminating in a tremendous war aboard a burning train bound for the Gettysburg battlefield.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was written by Seth Graham-Smith, directed by the visionary Timur Bekmanbetov and produced by Jim Lemley and Tim Burton.  The film is in world-wide distribution by 20th Century Fox.
