Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I have to believe this book, brought to you by the same guy who wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, will be terrible. (These mash-up books featuring classic characters or historical figures battling supernatural creatures are sort of annoying, aren't they?) But the book's "trailer" looks fun. I will probably skip the novel and wait for the feature film. Incidentally, movie version of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which stars Natalie Portman, is in production now and is scheduled for release in 2011.

Spanking the Zombie vs. Southland Brains

The IMDB link says that David O. Russell is directing. The Natalie Portman link says Richard Kelly. Good call either way.

Um... Did somebody just say...

"Good call" about anything associated with this project?

I think my comic strip from high school days, "Picasso Comix," had more promise as a comedic concept.

Re: Abe Lincoln

I will give him this: the Abe Lincoln story arc looks more original and less contrived than the Pride and Prejudice gag.
