Timur Bekmambetov on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Wanted 2 and 20000 Leagues Under The Sea
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is coming, and the latest news goes like this: Wanted helmer Timur Bekmambetov is set to direct it!
Ok, this project is definitely not a surprise, because, as you remember, we previously reported that Tim Burton is set to produce a live action feature based on the book of the same name.
But that’s not the only reason why we’re here today…
“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter I’m prepping to direct myself. It is not a comedy at all, it is a very entertaining, epic history lesson for millions and millions of teenagers.
If you remember Nightwatch, it is maybe in the vein of that kind of movie. We are keeping the traditional look of Lincoln – the big hat and the beard. He has to be historically correct, but with a few special weapons.
Wanted 2: Angelina Jolie Will Be Replaced By New Characters
Yes, we know, when it comes to Wanted 2, the most asked question is – did Angelina Jolie kill it?
So, maybe the best thing that author Mark Millar did, is an interview with MTV, where he confirmed that Universal and director Timur Bekmambetov are planning to move on without Jolie and put together the film anyway with a new character from the comic book in place of Jolie.
Check what Millar actually said:
“They killed off the most recognizable character, but I thought it was great to do that. It was so ballsy to kill off the one person you didn’t expect to die.”
Angelina Jolie In Darren Aronofsky’s Serena?
While Angelina Jolie is currently working very hard in Paris on her new movie The Tourist, press seems to be very ocupied with her new projects.
The main speculation refers to the eventual role in Wanted sequel, but, as the rumors spread out, seems like Gravity is not on her list of priorities too. At least, not for now.
Yeah, we are also wondering, what’s up with all that sequels-euphoria lately? I mean, we all know she died at the end of the first film, right? Or is it going to be some kind of prequel?
We still don’t have an answer for this one, but we know that New York Magazine reported Angelina Jolie will not reprise her role as the highly trained assassin Fox in Wanted 2. Ok, we got that.
Angelina Jolie May Return for WANTED 2

He also mentioned that another ghost will also be returning as well, Kostya Khabensky who played a bomb expert in Wanted will also be rising from the dead, although he didn’t say anything about the rest of the Fraternity.
Mark Millar Talks About “Wanted 2″
With “Wanted” being a huge success this summer, it’s no surprise that creator of the graphic novel, Mark Millar is already talking plans for more sequels to the film.
Plans were put into motion to make another movie as soon as the movie broke the $50 million mark, and Millar was of course happy to oblige:
“What I will be doing is providing them with a very small amount of stuff for a story, and that will be used as a basic story that they can build from. It will be a small outline that can possibly be picked apart and not used – but it will be something exclusively for the second film, and no one will ever really see it…. It will be some of the stuff that we didn’t utilize from the first book for the movie – like chapters three and four – there will be some stuff from that, so in the loosest sense it will be based on the book, but only very little,”
