Tim Burton To Direct Lincoln Vampire Slayer Film We have learned that directors Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov have found another angle on the Lincoln story: Abe's lifelong mission to kill vampires. They'll produce with Jim Lemley a movie adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter , the Seth Grahame-Smith novel that Grand Central Publishing released today. Graham-Smith kicks off with the revelation that Lincoln’s mother was killed by a supernatural creature, which fueled his passion to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers.

David O. Russell is circling that project as director and Portman is prod

Wolverine 2 Script Is Done And Ready To Head To Japan I actually didn't hate the first film as much as a lot of fans of Wolverine. I mean of course there were holes in the movie that didn't follow the comic book but overall a descent movie in my opinion. And looks like the script for the second film is done and ready to go.
