According to the NY Times, the New York premiere of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will be held on June 18 at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square. As of now, the time for the premiere hasn’t been announced, but I’ll keep you guys posted. š
The article also goes on to say that 20th Century Fox is set to announce a series of promotional eventsĀ ā intended to introduce one of its less likely movies, āAbraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,ā to some hoped-for fans serving in the United States armed services.
The military push for the film, which opens on June 22 in the United States and on various dates around the world, starts with screenings for land-based troops at undisclosed locations in the Middle East. Then it will move to the Abraham Lincoln, with appearances by the filmās star, Benjamin Walker; its director, Timur Bekmambetov; and Seth Grahame-Smith, who was a writer of the script and the book on which it is based, said Jim Lemley, who is a producer of the movie and will join the others, both on the ship and at the bases.
āWeāre going sailing on one of the flagships in the nuclear arsenal,ā Mr. Lemley said in a telephone interview on Monday.
Mr. Walker will be in character as Lincoln. Stovepipe hats and glow-in-the-dark fangs will be handed around.
While the article doesn’t mention Mary per se, I can only assume she’ll be joining Ben, Timur and the rest of the team during an event or two so if she does, I’ll post it here of course. *Fingers crossed.*
Mary is featured as the cover girl for Complex Magazine’s June/July 2012 issue, which officially hits stands on June 5. Thankfully, they’ve uploaded her full interview on the site. Additionally, you can see all her pics by viewing them in theĀ gallery. Check out her BTS video below as well as a snippet of her interview. In the full interview, she discusses horror movies, ALVH & releasing a new album! š
What made you sign on to such a bugged-out project?
The title, for one, baffled me. I didnāt know what to think, but I knew it had to be interesting because Timur [Bekmambetov, who directed Wanted] was doing it, and Tim Burton was producing it. When I opened the script and started reading it, I was totally blown away. I wasnāt expecting it to be such a great action-adventure piece, an epic tale that you get totally swept up in. I expected there to be more silliness and camp to it, and itās just this straightforward journey of a complicated character. Itās like a superhero origin story.With its summer release date and huge budget, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is kind of a big deal. Is that nerve-racking?
This one has been a big surprise to me. It seemed to be some obscure thing, but now everyoneās talking about it. We all want to do films that people see, so Iām thankful to be a part of something that has legs. But itās also cool to be in something that gains a following over time.
Although actor Rufus Sewell said during the Kapow! Comic Con this past weekend that a red-band trailer for AL:VH will probably be out in a month or so, ComicBookMovie has released some description for the upcoming footage. Here’s what they had to say:
ā¢ The first scene revealed that Rufus Sewell’s Adam (the leader of the vampires and main villain in the film) has his sights set on the White House. A young Abraham Lincoln listens on and attempts to take out one of his henchman. However, it appears that he has no idea that these guys are vampires as a bullet to the head has absolutely no effect.
ā¢ The next scene was far less tense, and featured a scene between Abraham Lincoln and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Mary Todd. He confesses to her exactly what it is he spends his nights doing – hunting down and killing vampires. Of course, she doesn’t believe a word he’s saying and he allows her to think he’s joking.
ā¢ Their romantic picnic ends with the duo outside of Mary’s house. She inventively uses Lincoln’s top hat to stand on in order to be able to kiss him. As she moves in, he turns his head, and the date comes to a rather abrupt end. It’s not that Lincoln isn’t interested – he simply wants to protect her from the dangers he faces.

Today, Twentieth Century Fox has released a new international poster for director Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which is set to hit theaters on June 22. You can check out the full-sized poster in the gallery. Also, if you missed the other international poster that was released last week, you can see it by clicking on the pic below.
I am loving the Russian poster thus far. It’s awesome looking. Only a month to go!
Back in February when the international trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was released, we got a super quick, brief look at Mary portraying President Lincoln’s wife Mary Todd Lincoln in Timur Bekmambetov’s upcoming film. The director took to his Twitter account and gave us a new glimpse (albeit blurry) shot of Mary as Honest Abe’s wife.
Be sure to check out the pic in the gallery.
Hopefully more clearer shots will be released soon, but I think this was so we wouldn’t get too spoiled. š
Mary makes a small appearance in the June issue of Self magazine where they ask the stars what’s their Selfy lunch. Mary responded by saying that she “microwaves a mean frozen meal” and that her favorites are “Indian dishes from Trader Joe’s.”

As promised earlier today, I’ve added Mary’s new Vogue scan exclusively provided by kroqjock.
In the interview, Mary discusses how meetings with directors would go well, only for them to tell her “she’s too wholesome”. But thanks to her terrific performance in the Sundance praised film, Smashed, all of that could be changing. Asked about whether her character Mary Todd Lincoln in AL:VH gets to kick vampire butt, Mary dished that she “gets a brief moment of action.”
Be sure to check out the full-sized photo in the gallery! Mary looks so gorgeous as always.
Mary has given us a sneak peek of herself (via her instagram) in the latest issue of Vogue Magazine and she looks sooo lovely! Be sure to check out the pic in the gallery, & I’ll have the full scan itself posted as soon as I possibly can. š
