In an interview with
Screen Rant, Seth Grahame-Smith - author of the fantasy/horror novel
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and also wrote the script for the film adaptation - talked about a potential sequel to the film. He says that the origin story isn't completed in the movie, and that another Lincoln story was still open. Meanwhile, director Timur Bekambetov hints at how Lincoln's story could continue, despite being assassinated in April of 1865.
“The short answer is yes, absolutely.", says Grahame-Smith.
"If you read the book there’s an epilogue that leaves things open to that. In the film, without giving anything away, we don’t definitively end the origin story. We leave, not only a mentor story, but also possibly a Lincoln story open.”
“The scary thing is that they can convert you.", says Bekambetov.
"This is the scariest thing. Because we know that Lincoln was killed in the theater, but the whole movie you are afraid that they will bite him and we don’t know who was killed in that theater, and how…”
