Tim Burton, the producer of this summer’s, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter wants artists to submit their best vision of the movie. There’s no limit to the design, it can be sketches, paintings, photos or a combination of all. The 5 finalists will be chosen by fans and Burton will choose the winner. The winner will get a private hometown midnight screening of Vampire Hunter.
I’m looking forward to some really cool art from fans because plenty will have political posters as well as funny ones. The movie opens June 20th.
I saw a short clip of the movie at WonderCon and it looked pretty good. The fight scene reminded me of Blade but with more humor. There were some changes they made from the book because it was missing some elements for a movie..ie a main villain.
Below is the press release:
