Tim Burton Wants to Adapt Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Does that violent book trailer seem like a movie? It might be a movie soon…

That’s the highly produced book trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter–Seth Grahame-Smith‘s follow up to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. According to Deadline Hollywood, the book already is headed to the big screen.

Here’s the simple post: “Alice and Wonderland director Tim Burton has teamed with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov to produce a movie version of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the Seth Grahame-Smith novel that Grand Central Publishing released today.”

Tune in next Monday when this GalleyCat editor interviews Grahame-Smith about his new novel on the Morning Media Menu. (Via Colleen Lindsay)
