Teaser Trailers for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter!

The trailer looks sooo good!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Teaser Footage Described
Fearnet was among the several journalists lucky enough to attend a special Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter event in Springfield, Illinois where they saw the AL:VH teaser trailer & some additional footage. Here are the scenes they saw & have described:
One of the scenes we were shown last night featured Lincoln (played by New York stage actor Benjamin Walker) as a young man, still grieving after his mother has been killed by vampires, honing his skill with an axe under the instruction of his mentor, Henry Sturges (played by Dominic Cooper). Walking through a sunlit forest, Sturges instructs Lincoln to think of the things he hates most in life, and tells him to focus his aggression on a tree. Growing more enraged with each swing of his axe, Lincoln’s anger culminates in an explosive blow that takes down the entire tree in a slow-mo, CGI-enhanced money shot, chunks of wood hurtling at the screen. (This shot is featured in the trailer, and will doubtlessly prove even more effective in 3D). Sturges then tells Lincoln to do the same to every other tree in the woods.
Another scene showed Lincoln targeting a local shopkeeper who’s secretly a vampire, and a mano-a-mano fight ensuing in his tiny store. It’s a fight that quickly ends, with Lincoln falling through a trap door into a basement/dungeon, where he’s immediately ensnared by his legs and strung upside down alongside several other men.
A quieter scene was one in which the young Lincoln is courting his wife to be, Mary Todd (as played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead), by a lake, as the two enjoy a picnic in the park. Here Honest Abe reveals to Mary his nighttime activities, and exactly how many vampires he’s killed. She’s amused, but unconvinced, though she plays along with what she believes is a joke.

First Look at Some ALVH Trailer Footage plus Cost of Living Info
So by now, we know that the teaser trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will be out on Monday, but in the meantime, CBS did an interview with Benjamin Walker, Mary’s co-star in the upcoming film who plays Abe himself. In the interview, we get to see him check out some of Abraham Lincoln’s real-life artifacts and how much of his life remains a mystery. We also get several snippets of the upcoming trailer & it looks insane! See for yourself in the video below:
Also, BenDavid Grabinski, who directed Cost of Living which stars Brandon Routh and Bret Harrison, did an interview with Bloody-Disgusting & talked about how Mary’s part of “The computer voice” came to be:
Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the voice of this computer that seems to be taunting the heroes at times. Did she get involved before or after Bret and Brandon?
Mary’s husband Riley is a good friend of mine. I wrote the computer voice for her. It’s a ‘HAL’ type character that’s sort of mixed with the female villain from “Portal 2”. Without her, you can’t really have a lot of story economy. It would be hard to whittle the whole thing down to just 9 minutes. She was the first person I had. I had a location and a crew but no cast aside from her. Seven days out I didn’t have Bret or Brandon yet. Mary suggested Brandon, and it had never occurred to me in my wildest dreams I could get him. But I love Brandon and I thought he hadn’t been used in a way that exploited his full potential comedically. He’s really funny in Scott Pilgrim, but that’s not as the hero. I thought he would be really funny as a John Carpenter/Kurt Russell hero. The character in my head was always a cross between Snake Plissken and Jack Burton. She sent the script to Brandon, we went and talked for hours over sushi and he said “so when are we shooting?”
Cost of Living will be premiering online on Valentine’s Day so check back in a few days to see it in full!
