This week has brought us two great posters from 20th Century Fox.  Earlier this week we got to see the first Prometheus poster and today we have two posters for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel by the same name.  In the film President Lincoln's mother is killed by a unknown creature, which drives his desire to kill vampires and their slave-owning helpers.  The posters recall old fashion horror with a dark feel and design.  One poster shows the 16th President in a dimly-lit office while holding an ax and in the other poster Honest Abe is underneath a full moon-lit sky.

What makes us excited for this film is the unique look and feel to the film.

Tim Burton is producing Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter that will mix horror with a 19th century action set. and will be shown in theaters in 2D and 3D on June 22, 2012.
