    Timothy Olyphant testing for Abraham Lincoln?!

    According to Deadline Adrien Brody, Timothy Olyphant, Josh Lucas, James D’Arcy, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Benjamin Walker are all screentesting for the role of a young Abraham Lincoln in 20th Century Fox’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

    The movie will be directed by Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov and is a 3D re-imagining of Lincoln’s life that depicts the 16th president as an axe-throwing, highly accomplished killer of vampires, an obsession of his since those bloodsuckers supposedly took the life of his mother. Taking revenge, Lincoln wreaks havoc on the vampires and their slave-owning protectors.

    The project was hot property earlier this year when Bekmambetov and producer Tim Burton were shopping it to studios, but Fox wanted in on the vampire action so badly that when the filmmakers arrived to pitch it the studio had bloody axes and footprints all over the place. It worked.

    Apparently the budget stands at $69 million and a release date of June 22nd 2012 has been set, so filming will begin later this year. Which actor do you want slashing up vampires as Abe Lincoln?

    Timothy filming ‘I Am Number IV’

    MONACA — With 18 crew members huddled around him Thursday, film star Timothy Olyphant took a few steps, knocked on a screen door and coolly entered a Monaca house.

    “Cut!” shouted the director, satisfied that the fifth try had been the charm.

    Just like that, another scene had been wrapped for the DreamWorks film “I Am Number IV.” As Olyphant strolled toward a tent to escape the 86-degree heat, the film crew hustled to take apart mobile lighting, rigging and camera equipment that would be set up for the next scene, depicting Olyphant steering a menacing looking Ford Bronco up Atlantic Avenue.

    “It’s a whole lot of chaos and a whole lot of noise, but it’s exciting though,” said Sandy McHenry, who watched that teeny-tiny slice of Hollywood magic from her back porch.
