According to this news item, Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov already have dibs on the movie version of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Note that the news story came out yesterday, the same day as the book’s release. Note also that the video trailer for the novel helped get the film option rolling. We live in strange times.
My hope at this point is that Honest Abe will indeed prove to be the ultimate vampire hunter, and kill them all dead. Stakes through their hearts, gone forever, never to be seen again on this old earth. Especially not in the bookstores.
I’m with you on that one. It’s a fad that has overstayed its welcome.
