Tim Burton to venture into vampire movies We’ve seen a whole host of vampire movies hit the screens over the past 12 months, with the teen-favourite Twilight among those to bring the genre to the fore.

Now it seems that quirky director Tim Burton has decided he’d like to present his own take on the fantasy/horror theme.

But, as we all know from some of his previous offerings, it’s not going to be like anything we’ve seen before.

Die-hard fans of the director will no doubt have Tim Burton Tee shirts sporting images from films such as Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice or even his latest offering Alice in Wonderland.

He’s not going to be doing this alone though as he’ll be collaborating with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov.

And they’ve picked an unusual story (would you expect anything else though?). It’s set to be a movie adaptation of the recently released novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

The book by Seth Grahame-Smith re-imagines the US president as a highly trained vampire assassin – it sounds right up Burton’s street.

If you want to know what’s in store for the film, you might want to pick up a copy. It was released on general sale at the beginning of this month.ADNFCR-2904-ID-19647400-ADNFCR
