Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter?

(WLTX) - Are you ready to see Honest Abe as an action hero?

On this President's Day, we thought we'd point you in the director of a bizarre take on Abraham Lincoln that will be coming to theaters this summer. (The trailer's been making a buzz the last week online and in multiplexes)

Its title: "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."

If you haven't heard of it, it's based on a 2010 novel by Seth Graham-Smith, and is a sort of comic/horror/alternate history of America.

Instead of the "rail-splitter," it re-imagines the 16th President as a hatchet-wielding slayer of the undead.

And lest you think it completely abandons history, fear not: the Lincoln-Douglas debate, slavery, and the Civil War are all in there, just with radically different motivations behind them. He's not alone, either: he gets help from none other than William Seward, who here is another vampire-slayer but in the real world was the Secretary of State who negotiated the purchase of Alaska.

The film has A-list pedigree, with it being produced by Tim Burton, director of "Batman" and "Alice in Wonderland," and directed by Timur Bekmambetov, who helmed the Angelina Jolie action flick "Wanted."

The trailer is below. If more traditional Lincoln fare is your way of viewing him, don't worry: director Steven Spielberg's Lincoln film starring Daniel Day-Lewis is out later in the year.
