Summer Movie Time 2012, Part 2

I'm sure we all remember the Gettysburg Address:   
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, except vampires.  
Luckily, because of Abraham Lincoln, that last part has been omitted from the history books as time passed. But, this summer you finally get a chance to see a forgotten part of history in the classic movie, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.  Watch the trailer below to get a sense of the full scope of this documentary.   
      

It opens June 22nd and is produced by (who else?) Tim Burton. Included in the cast of characters are Stephen Douglas, Harriet Tubman, and Jefferson Davis, so it looks like we're getting the whole history workout. On a sad note, Benjamin Walker won the role of Abraham Lincoln over Nicholas Cage.  We also get the tagline "Are you a patriot or a vampire?" Based on Seth Grahame-Smith's Pulitzer Prize winning (well, it should have) novel of the same name, this blockbuster will be followed next summer by Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Now if we can get Mr. Lincoln to take out Edward, Bella, and Jacob, the world would be a much better place.
