Whilst Seth Grahame-Smith’s Honest Abe battles blood-suckers in the Timur Bekmambetov helmed ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ horror studio The Asylum are revving up more Presidential horror action with ‘Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies’. Writer and director Richard Schenkman helms the project which will see Bill Oberst Jr. (‘Nude Nuns With Big Guns’, ‘The Devil’s In The Desert’) plonking on the famous stovepipe hat. Bill describes Schenkman’s script as an “incredibly fun mix of alternate history and horror. This is very much the Lincoln of history…except that he battles the walking dead with a bloody farm implement.” You can check out the poster and new stills from the production featuring Bill and zombie actor Perry Foster below.
“While the Civil War rages on, President Abraham Lincoln must undertake an even more daunting task: Destroying the Confederate Undead.”
‘Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies’ will see a release on 22 May.
