Badass Digest broke the news of Trent Reznor’s involvement in the film, which will surely benefit from the moody, atmospheric accompaniment that the composer helped to craft for The Social Network, with Oscar-winning results.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter surmises that Lincoln’s mother was killed by vampires and that the eventual 16th President of the United States dedicated his life to destroying blood-suckers with an axe. He continued to do so all the way through his Presidency.
Reznor’s role will reportedly be a very important cameo – as the vampire that kills Lincoln’s mom and sets the whole bloody affair in motion.
Produced by Tim Burton, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter begins shooting, in 3D, later this month aimed at a prime June 22, 2012 release date.
