He may have picked up the Best Original Score Oscar for his work on ‘The Social Network’ soundtrack last weekend, but Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor (below) is certainly not resting on his laurels. Trent has reportedly signed on to help score the new Seth Grahame-Smith novel adaption of ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’, to be helmed by ‘Wanted’s Timur Bekmambetov. But his works not done there as it also seems that he’ll appear in the movie as the vampire who kills Abe’s mother! Not that is ruddy bloody interesting. Ben Walker will star as the prez accompanied by his smoking hot first lady played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. They’ll be joined by Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie and Jimmi Simpson.
“When Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the “milk sickness.” Only later did he learn that his mother’s deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln’s father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires. His valiant, bloody fight against the undead was all but lost to history, until Grahame-Smith stumbled upon the secret journal of Abraham Lincoln. Using the journal as his guide, Seth reconstructs Lincoln’s life story and uncovers the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation. You don’t know Abe. Honest.”
The hunt begins on 22 June 2012.
