‘Abraham Lincoln’ Has a Valentine’s Sweetheart
Twentieth Century Fox is working like lightning in casting Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D. Benjamin Walker landed the lead, assuming the role of the 16th President who hunts vampires, while Anthony Mackie and Dominic Cooper were also cast.
Our friends over at Latino Review have one more for the period piece: Robin McLeavy (the psycho-chick in the Aussie horror The Loved Ones) will star as Mary Todd, Abe Lincoln’s love interest and eventual wife!
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.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
