Eric Bana as Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter?

In the past he's Hulked out and changed the destiny of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, and now Erica Bana could very well be taking on the role of Honest Abe, President by day, vampire hunter by night!

Reports The Wrap, "Australian actor Eric Bana is circling the title role in 20th Century Fox's big screen adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. While Bana hasn't landed the coveted role yet, he's scheduled to meet with director Timur Bekmambetov soon, and is certainly in contention for the part. The casting would make sense, as there's a bit of a physical resemblance between the two. At 6' 4", Lincoln is the tallest American president, while Bana is the rare leading man who stands at 6' 3"."

He's definately got the right face, just imagine Bana with the famous Lincoln Beard.
But the question is will Americans mind an Australian portraying such a pivitol character in American history.
I can't really comment 'cos i'm English.
Vampires though? They're like my second favourite dead things after zombies

@01carterg - I have no problem with Bana portraying Lincoln and I'm American. Never heard of this novel, but sounds interesting.

As an American and I'm ok with Bana playing Lincoln. I mean he's chasing around vampires. Can't really take it that serious.

Cool! My brother just mentioned to me this novel he saw about Lincoln being Vampire slayer few weeks ago . Can't wait .

Bana is an excellent choice and I guess Americans wouldn't mind since since his a decent actor.
