here’s a bit of awesomeness that features Abraham Lincoln fighting John Wilkes Booth. Turns out the Presidential assassin was a vampire, and Lincoln knew how to fight back.
From the New York Times bestselling author of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES comes the true history of our sixteenth president – Seth Grahame-Smith’s ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER.
Too bad this is just a trailer for a book, because the production value in this is awesome sauce with a side of kick-ass slaw.
Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz, the writers behind Marvel’s Thor movie currently in production, have been signed by Paramount Pictures to write “Damn Nation”, a vampire tale set in the future. The movie is based on Dark Horse’s comic book by the same name, and written by Andrew Cosby (now an exec at Boom! Studios).
Set in a U.S. evacuated after an attack from “inhuman nocturnal predators,” the comic tells the tale of the survivors after the government has been forced to relocate to London while scientists search for a solution.
Cosby and Ross Ritchie are executive producing the film, along with Dark Horse producers Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg.
Press Release

Twilight. Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. Stephanie Meyer. Vampires.
Now that we have the link baiting out of the way (hello Twilight fans), here’s a bit of news that will excite all of those that are finding this article thanks to our mad SEO skillz – Twilight author Stephanie Meyer will be featured in the October issue of Bluewater Productions’ Female Force.
“We chose Stephenie Meyer to be one of the subjects for Female Force because her voice is one for a new generation. Now people will find out the history of how she created this series, as well as her life story,” said Darren G. Davis, Bluewater Productions’ publisher.
Female Force: Stephanie Meyer is scheduled to be released in October as a lead up to the next installment of the Twilight movie.
Next week, Impaler #3 arrives in comic book stores. The vampire tale features the state by state takeover of the U.S. by the undead, and Top Cow has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek.
vs. My Patience
This past week finally saw the end of one of the most god-awful series DC has ever produced. Surprisingly, I’m not talking about Final Crisis or Batman RIP, rather the horrid horror/superhero mini-series Superman & Batman vs. Vampires & Werewolves.
Like vampires? Want a totally different take on Dracula? Then check out Top Cow’s Impaler #1 that arrives in stores this week. Top Cow was kind enough to send Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the first issue, that you can see after the jump.
Here’s how Hollywood thinks, “If we had success with one movie, done one way, and released on a particular weekend, the we must be able to repeat that success again, and again, and again.” Such is the thinking with the Twilight sequel that is being rushed into production for a November 20, 2009 release date.
Execs at Summit — which announced plans for a sequel on just the second day of release for “Twilight” — just confirmed that Chris Weitz (“The Golden Compass”) will direct “New Moon.” The minimajor recently parted ways on the project with Catherine Hardwicke, who helmed the original.
Let’s see, how well did The Golden Compass do? I haven’t seen Twilight, but from the reports I’ve read, Hardwicke seemed to know how to handle the first book adaptation, even if she is a bit set in her ways as to how the film should be produced.
Rushed productions only mean one thing; trouble.
Top Cow has announced Impaler will get an ongoing series from the company. The vampire thriller by William Harms with art by Matt Timson has had success with the first trade paperback, thus more vamp stories are on the way.
“Vampires continue to resonate with people – just look at the success of properties like HBO’s True Blood and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books,” said Top Cow’s VP Marketing and Sales Mel Caylo in a prepared statement. “We recognized Impaler is truly a fresh, new spin on the ‘vampire mythos’ and were excited to keep the story going. We think it has the potential to be like Walking Dead, but for vampires.”
In the first story arc of Impaler, a derelict cargo ship is found adrift offshore during a terrible blizzard in New York City. When New York’s Finest is sent to investigate the missing crew, an unspeakable horror is unleashed that quickly spreads all over the snow-covered borough, as a vampire plague quickly moves through the city’s population. The people’s only hope lies in Vlad Tepes, the real-life historical inspiration for the vampire legend, Dracula. Vlad the Impaler arrives to defend the city from the ever-growing vampire horde, but how much can one man do against an army of thousands?
You’ve probably seen the previews and specials rolling on HBO promoting the new series True Blood. Spacedog Entertainment (partners with Top Cow Entertainment) have a prequel comic book being released this week at the San Diego Comic Con called True Blood: The Great Revelation.
Top Cow has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the issue that is free for those stopping by the Top Cow booth (#2329). For the rest of us, the first 16 pages will be available on July 24, 2008 at HBO.com/TrueBlood.
