Rumor Control: Mary Elizabeth Winstead to Play ‘Lincoln’s Love Interest
It was reported on a pretty reliable website earlier this week that The Loved One‘s Robin McLeavy had landed the major role of the 16t President’s wife in Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D.
Unfortunately, they got this one wrong as the Hollywood Reporter writes that horror veteran Mary Elizabeth Winstead will play Mary Todd in 20th Century Fox’s period vampire adventure that goes behind cameras next month in New Orleans.
She’ll star opposite Benjamin Walker, who plays Abraham Lincoln. She previous starred in Black Christmas, Grindhouse, The Ring Two, Final Destination 3 and can also be seen in Universal’s The Thing remake.
Penned by Seth Grahame-Smith, the story revolves around the President’s quest to rid the world of vampires, presented as part of the conflict behind the Civil War. History will be rewritten on June 22, 2012.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
