6abe lincolnew1020712 Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Goes Full Swing With An Axe

Twentieth Century Fox has released a slew of new imagery from Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D, his 3-D historical retelling arriving in theaters June 22. In this historical fantasy, produced by Tim Burton, vampires strike the same twitchy nerve among the citizenry that terrorists do in our real world. One of the images features Benjamin Walker as “Honest Abe” wielding an axe and taking full-swing (hopefully about to take a vamp’s head off!) The other displays Lincoln in his younger days, already aware of the vampire menace, but just beginning to learn that he and his trusty felling axe could do something about it.

Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Rufus Sewell, Robin McLeavy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson, and Alan Tudyk also star.

“Seth Grahame-Smith’s revision of a Jane Austen classic 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.” READ MORE

As the April 22 release date loomed over the horizon, Dimension Films bumped Apollo 18 to January 22, 2012, indicating that either the film was a lot more work than the studio thought or it was a total turkey. In an amazing turn of events, the outer space flick – which unearths footage from Apollo 18′s undocumented and covert mission to the moon, revealing disturbing new evidence of other life forms – will now bow on August 26, 2011.

Also getting a release date shift is Final Destination 5, which moves from August 26th to August 12th, 2011. In this fifth installment, “Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”

It Will Take SIx Months for ‘Maggie’ to Decay

Timur Bekmambetov has won a spec auction for Maggie, a script that sparked a spirited auction today, with six bidders. Bekmambetov will produce a film that has a script by John Scott 3, and vfx wiz Henry Hobson set to direct, reports Deadline.

“Maggie is a 16-year old girl from a town in middle America who becomes infected by a zombie.” Much the way that Danny Boyle changed the lumbering zombie stereotype by speeding up the undead in 28 Days Later, Maggie changes the lightning quick infection period evident in most zombie films, where victims become zombies in minutes. It will take six months for Maggie to turn, and the film tracks the transformation as she stays with her family.

While George A. Romero already explored the slow-burn turn, a six month window really adds to the drama and intensity of the horror. What say you?
