actors testing for Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

[Captaindemotion]

^ But he'd be replaced by Nathan Fillion for the sequel.

I'd heard a week or two ago that Eric Bana was in the mix for this project. No word of him here though.

 

[Thestral]

^ Neeson could play every single superhero AND villain in a Justice League movie!

... Liam Neeson as Power Girl?

^ But he'd be replaced by Nathan Fillion for the sequel.

I get the feeling I'm missing something here...

 

[Captaindemotion]

^ Just the tendency for some fans to suggest Fillion for every single casting choice out there!!!!!!

 

[Starbreaker]

Bea Arthur would have made a great choice...

 

[Temis the Vorta]

^ Just the tendency for some fans to suggest Fillion for every single casting choice out there!!!!!!

Which reminds me, Bruce Campbell would be perfect for this role!

 

[Captaindemotion]

^That's not a bad idea, actually. Shame he'd never get within a sniff of an audition.

 

[JarodRussell]

I will be disappointed if they don't cast Idris Elba as Abe Lincoln.

 

[timothy]

liam would be great for the role he was awesome as hanible smith in a team .
and no bad mouth the second greatest american president in history!

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I will be disappointed if they don't cast Idris Elba as Abe Lincoln.

How bout the guy in your avatar? With Betty White co-starring as Mary Todd Lincoln.

and no bad mouth the second greatest american president in history!

Ok I'll bite, then who is #1?

No! Captain Robau!

 

[Starbreaker]

Benjamin Walker (Flags of Our Fathers) is Abraham Lincoln (of the special Vampire killing variety).

Link

He's a nobody, basically.

 

[JacksonArcher]

He was once slated to appear as Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast in X-Men: First Class but had to drop-out due to portraying Andrew Jackson in a musical. I guess the guy has some presidential inclinations.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Great choice. The book was great fun. Can't wait to see this.

 

[Samurai8472]

The ending was great. Can't wait to see that realized on screen.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

When I saw his mug shot, I wasn't quite convinced. But then...

"Those wealthy New England Congress fucks would rather tax us and play polo all day than defend the frontier!" "Who am I? I'm Andrew FUCKING Jackson!"

Yep. He's the man for the job. A very well developed sense of Presidential-level absurdity.

And as a nice bonus, he looks a lot like a young Liam Neeson, so we can watch both Lincoln flicks while maintaining a seamless illusion of canonicity.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Trent Reznor will be scoring the movie and will act. This movie keeps getting better and better. So stoked for this.
