This looks absurd....which means it will be either awesome or dreadful.

wanna bet this movie grosses over 100 mill in less than 30 days?
Where’s Abe Lincoln when the Nazis from the dark side of the Moon attack?
“Judge us not equally, Abraham. We may all deserve hell, but some of us deserve it sooner than others”
Probably one of the best historical fiction/fantasy books ever written. If done right the movie can leave “Inglourious Basterds” in the dust. The end of the book was a disappointment, almost like a movie that just tied everything up in the end to be neat.
I remember really looking forward to ‘Cowboys and Aliens’.
..Same absurdity level as this one.
Will this one be as bad?
this is based on a book???
Holy smokes. This looks ridiculous. I bet it is a hit.
Yes it is.

He also wrote “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” which I’m sure Jane Austen would have wrote if she thought about them.
Up next, Sherlock Holmes, Lycanthropic Investigator!
After being contracted to investigate mysterious happenings attributed to a ghostly hound at the Baskerville estate, Holmes is bitten during a confrontation with the fiendish beast. After continuing with the case, and tying up all the loose ends (or so he thought), Holmes takes a well-deserved respite at his brother Mycroft’s country estate. Before the month is out, his peaceful repose is interrupted by a series of mysterious slayings strangely reminiscent of the murders in the Baskerville case. While Holmes fears that the real killer may have eluded his grasp and now mocks him with these crimes, the truth is even more shocking than the great detective could imagine: Holmes, infected with the virus of lycanthropy by the hound-bite, has begun to stalk the countryside under the light of the full moon. Can the resourceful Sherlock outwit his most cunning adversary.... himself?
Well, it is a Tim Burton film...so it will be elaborate, dark, well crafted, and great on some level!

Yea, just like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...</s>
I don’t think Willie Wonka was a Burton film.
I was thinking of the original. I didn't see the remake.
The movie is actually highly anticipated. The premise is that Lincolns mother was killed by a vampire and that every action Lincoln takes in his life is to destroy vampires. The Democrats - southern slave owners are all vampires and he makes war on them and destroys them. One almost wishes it had happened, but alas, we still have democrats.
And the Republicans are still trying to end the scourge of socialist vampires sucking the life out of the body politic.
He was the director of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"
