Meanwhile, Fox was looking for actors who could play 16th President if 16th President hunted vampires in his extra time. Fox was screen testing the following actors for the role of young Abe Lincoln in Timur Bekmambetov’s “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” : Adrien Brody, Timothy Olyphant, Josh Lucas, James D’Arcy (Into the Storm), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster), and Benjamin Walker (Flags of Our Fathers).
