Indeed, as Bekambetov asserts, when you engage in fantastically revisionist history all the rules change: Indeed it likely means that the movie is aesthetically modern in its effects as well as visual palette - and, as Bekambetov reflected, an awareness that they are making the film 'for a young audience.' But there did seem to be an intent for us to understand that this was not a story that necessarily concludes with the credits.

In the interim, we invite you to imagine what a sequel to this seemingly one-off actioner would look like. We will have an early look at the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer, a 'making of' featurette, video interview with director Timur Bekambetov and star Benjamin Walker, excerpts from our Q&A with Bekmambetov, Seth Grahame-Smith (Writer/Author), Walker and Jim Lemley (Producer) and a more detailed accounting of the event very soon.
