Deadline: After a hard fought auction that included Sony and Paramount and Universal and Summit, Twentieth Century Fox has emerged the victor for the hottest project in Hollywood right now: the live-action adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith macabre novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter with director Timur Bekmambetov and producer Tim Burton who used their own money to option the book earlier this year.
Honestly, I'm interested in this. While it's another vampire story based on a book I only found to be OK, I think in film form this could be interesting. It would be nice to see a comedic vampire film that isn't some terrible teenage parody that only relies on sight-gags. With Tim Burton helping behind the scenes I'm willing to give it a shot.
