Abraham Lincoln might be hacking vampires to bits in your local multiplex, but did you know that the mashup film was actually given its US premiere in the Middle East?
Well, kind of - the film was first screened aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (a massive aircraft carrier), which is currently floating off the coast of Bahrain. In a rather audacious publicity stunt, the cast and crew of the film were flown about the vast floating airport for the screening to the 1,800 odd sailers in the main hangar. Benjamin Walker, who players the pre-presidential undead killer, even showed up in full Abraham Lincoln garb, with fake beard and everything.
Such a shame that the film isn't that good.
