Tom Hardy, best known for his role in this year's hit movie, Inception, is rumored to have signed on to play a vampire in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. In Seth Grahame-Smith's historical horror spin, when Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the "milk sickness." Only later did he learn that his mother's deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln's father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires.
Twentieth Century Fox is aiming for a June 22, 2012 release and Tim Burton will produce the horror adventure.
