Finally we have our first look at actual footage from the highly anticipated film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter! The footage was shown during an interview with the film's star Benjamin Walker on CBS. The full trailer for the film is set to be released tomorrow so stay tuned for that!

The film was directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and stars Walker as Abe Lincoln. The story focuses on the president who after having his mother murdered by monsters, is on a quest to rid the world of the evil vampires. The cast also includes Anthony Mackie, Jimmi Simpson, and Mary Elisabeth Winstead. It's an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's awesome novel.

Here's the Synopsis:

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a re-imagining of the 16th President's life that depicts him as an axe-throwing, highly accomplished killer of vampires -- an obsession of his since those bloodsuckers supposedly took the life of his mother. Lincoln eventually learns that the vampires have fled to the southern states of the U.S. and are concocting a plan to conquer and enslave the entire country -- this in turn leads to the Civil War between the Union and the Confederacy, the latter of which the vampires are aligned with.

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on June 22th 2012. Check out the footage below and tell us what you think!

由蒂姆·波顿担任制片人,由《守夜人》、《通缉令》导演提莫·贝克曼贝托夫执导的混搭范儿3D电影《吸血鬼猎人林肯》首度曝光先行版预告片。1分20秒的视频中,几段慢镜动作镜头抓人眼球,林肯总统挥起大斧狂劈吸血鬼,生猛十足。

在片中,深受美国人敬爱的林肯总统成为恶搞对象:林肯年幼时他的母亲为超自然捕食者所杀害,从此唤起了他的复仇血性,此后毕生都与吸血鬼以及他们的奴隶主联盟斗争。

这款先行预告哥特氛围浓厚,提莫·贝克曼贝托夫所擅长的慢镜摄影依然抢眼,火车冲下高架桥以及大规模战争等几段动作戏初露端倪。美国总统林肯手拎利斧一骑当千,鬼挡杀鬼万夫莫敌。预告末尾林肯挥斧怒劈,树干爆裂,生猛带感。值得一提的是,预告片配乐采用Johnny cash的名曲《The Man Comes Around》,相当酷烈。而金属乐队“九寸钉”主唱特伦特·雷诺担纲全片配乐,他也将在影片中出演一个角色。

影片改编自塞斯·葛拉汉梅-史密斯的同名小说,他曾将经典名著《傲慢与偏见》恶搞成《傲慢与偏见与僵尸》,《吸血鬼猎人林肯》的电影剧本由他亲自撰写,小说的情节将被原汁原味地呈现出来。作为导演,贝克曼贝托夫形容本片“是一堂带有娱乐色彩的史诗性历史课”,目前他正在新奥尔良用3D形式拍摄本片。

《吸血鬼猎人林肯》由二十世纪福斯出品,本杰明·沃克、玛丽·伊丽莎白·文斯蒂德、多米尼克·库珀、卢夫斯·塞维尔、艾伦·图代克、吉米·辛普森、安东尼·麦凯等主演,影片定于2012年6月22日3D/2D北美上映。
