The video clocks in at around two minutes, forty-five seconds. It includes a familiar voiceover from Benjamin Walker as Abe, lots of new footage including an excessive amount of slow motion and vampires hunhinging their jaws whilst lunging at the camera. While all this is going on, it's also cutting to Linkin Park performing the song "Powerless" from the album Living Things, which releases next week. The band figured into the marketing of last summer's Transformers: Dark of the Moon, so it seems 20th Century Fox is hoping for some that commercial fairy dust on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Check it below or at Yahoo! Video UK & Ireland, where it made its debut today.
Benjamin Walker stars as Lincoln, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anthony Mackie, Rufus Sewell, Robin McLeavy, Dominic Cooper, Jimmi Simpson, and Marton Csokas lending assistance. Night Watch and Day Watch director Timur Bekmambetov makes his second American feature here, with Tim Burton producing and Dark Shadows screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith adapting his own novel.
As all the blood-splattering in this video and the action-filled clip we saw last week indicate, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is rated R, apparently on account of "violence throughout and some sexuality." Between this and Prometheus, it's pretty surprising that Fox would have the bare-faced balls to release two expensive 3D summer tentpoles with R ratings, and I for one applaud the studio for it. If you're making a movie as inherently ridiculous as this one, why not do it right by including lots of vampire-slaying?
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter arrives this Friday, June 22nd.
