just one correction: it’s Timur, not Titur.
I’m excited for this! It looks like great action fun, and the cast seems to suit the characters from the source novel. The author of the original book helped on the screenplay, and there’s an interview somewhere where he explained certain changes he decided upon to make the story more cinematic.

@Diandra Rodriguez, Thanks, I fixed that now.
I’m mildly interested in this film – the trailer reminds me of Wanted a little bit. Seems like it could go either way. But the premise of having a president as a vampire slayer sounds interesting.

This trailer looks much better than I thought it would. I had a fear that the film was going to be super campy. While I wish Honest Abe was chopping up zombies, I think I will be giving this film a look see when it is realeased.
