[OMFG] One-Sheet Premiere: By Day He’s the President, By Night You’ll Meet ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’!
Twentieth Century Fox not only released the beautiful Prometheus poster this week, but they have also just premiered a pair of remarkable one-sheets for Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a 3D historical retelling starring Benjamin Walker as the 16th President of the United States. One feature Honest Abe as the President, the other as a hunter of the night. Awesome stuff!
In theaters June 22, 2012, “the story revolves around the president’s quest to rid the world of vampires, presented as part of the conflict behind the Civil War.”
Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Rufus Sewell, Robin McLeavy, Robin McLeavy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson and Alan Tudyk also star. “The film explores the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold history that shaped our nation. As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln witnesses the shocking death of his mother, leading him on a path to an ongoing war – and ultimately to the presidency – he chronicles in a hidden diary. The journal reveals the incredible story of a clandestine warrior who never stopped fighting for the country he led and the people he loved.”
Based on the iconic video game franchise, director Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony, and the official runtime has been revealed.
According to the film’s listing on the AMC Theatres website, the runtime for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is 1 hour, 35 minutes, making it one of the franchise’s shortest movies.
And we are expecting a very intense, fast-paced 95 minutes from the film.
Zach Cregger had explained to IGN, “It feels like one gigantic sequence. Things pop off about five minutes in and it basically stays like that until the end. What I love about the games is that you move from set-piece to set-piece. Every location has a unique challenge. I’m borrowing from the games directly in that rhythm, where you’re just running through a gauntlet.”
The film is being billed as “a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise” from the mind of visionary filmmaker Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons).
Austin Abrams (Weapons) stars as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”) round out the cast.
Cregger directs from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapters 3 & 4).
