Bloody Bloody Abraham Lincoln

According to the blogosphere buzz, the role of Lincoln in the film adaptation of Seth Graham-Smith's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will go to Benjamin Walker, star of Broadway's now-defunct Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.  Just a few weeks ago I blogged about my fascination with Walker's unconventional musical in a piece titled History, Sexypants Style, so I'm curious to see what the actor will do when he fills Lincoln's shoes—and, ahem, pants.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter uses the following quirky premise: "While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years."

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson turns an earlier U.S. President into an emo rock star.

I think Walker will be quite comfortable in his new role.
