Timur Bekmambetov revealed to Empire that he will direct the big screen adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Bekmambetov is already listed as a producer on the project along with Tim Burton:
“That one [‘Vampire Hunter’] I’m prepping to direct myself. It is not a comedy at all – it is a very entertaining, epic history lesson for millions and millions of teenagers. If you remember Nightwatch, it is maybe in the vein of that kind of movie. We are keeping the traditional look of Lincoln – the big hat and the beard. He has to be historically correct, but with a few special weapons.”
