We have the third poster for the upcoming film adaptation of the best-selling horror mashup, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, in which Benjamin Walker’s titular badass sits where his statue traditionally rests, clutching an axe and staring down the camera. The story focuses on the president who, after having his mother murdered by the monsters, is on a quest to rid the world of the evil vampires.

The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov. The cast also includes Anthony Mackie, Jimmi Simpson, and Mary Elisabeth Winstead.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film:

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest President, and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the blood-thirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opens June 22nd, 2012.
