‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ Is ‘Mind-Blowing,’ Says Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Posted by Efas 2010 Celebrity News on January 31, 2012In MTV News’ recent visit to the set of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” we learned that the show will be anything but a traditional look back at the life of our 16th president. Most biopics about Lincoln don’t occupy Honest Abe utilizing his own custom form of axe-centered martial arts.
“It’s a very unique take,” Mary Elizabeth Winstead told MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival, in what may be the largest understatement in movies this year.
We caught up with Winstead, who was in Park City for her new show “Smashed,” to talk about playing the woman behind the presidential undead killer, Mary Todd Lincoln. Unfortunately for the actress, her role as Mary Todd doesn’t occupy much axe-throwing.
“I’m kind of on the sidelines, but I’m very suspicious of my spouse’s [actions] and what’s vacant on in his life,” she said. “I know that he’s hiding something from me. You sort of see me piecing things collectively.”
“Vampire Hunter” comes out of the twisted minds of author Seth Grahame-Smith and the film’s director Timur Bekmabetov. Having not seen the finished product yet, Winstead couldn’t even start to clarify what we’ll all see when the show opens in June.
“I honestly have no thought what to expect, even though I’m in the show,” she said. “It’s really hard to promote in a way because I place of protection’t seen it, but I know it’s vacant to be just mind-blowing. It’s not something I can really visualize myself, because it’s so unique to him visually.”
