MUMBAI: Fox Star Studios is set to release Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov‘s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D on 13 July across India.

With the release, a brand new twist in one of the greatest chapters of American history is set to be revealed.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of Abraham Lincoln, USA‘s most famous president and talks about the untold story that shaped the American nation. The story centers on Lincoln, the 16th President of the US who discovers that vampires are planning to take over the US and hence he makes it his mission to eliminate them.

Noted Tim Burton in a statement, "Lincoln‘s entire life mirrors the classic comic book superhero mythology. It‘s a duality: during the day he‘s the president of the United States; at night, a vampire hunter."

Starring Benjamin Walker, a fresh cast of rising star, as Abraham Lincoln, the film also has Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rufus Sewell and Marton Csokas.

"The problems we are facing now are almost the same as in his day. The Civil War is still happening. Especially here in New Orleans, in Louisiana, you feel this as dramatic as it was 150 years ago. Still, all the problems are here. And still we have to finish what he began," comments co-producer director Bekmambetov.
