After screening the aboriginal trailer, added some added scenes, and demography a few questions from the audience, Walker and Bekmambetov sat down with MTV News to allocution Lincoln and attempting to accouterment assuming his abstruse history as a analgesic of the undead.
Walker fabricated a name for himself on Broadway arena a altered admiral in "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson." His aboriginal above starring role, "Vampire Hunter" may assume like an odd choice, but Walker's aboriginal catechism about the allotment had annihilation to do with the above admiral or vampires. "My antecedent acknowledgment was, 'Who's administering it?' " Walker said. "Then as anon as somebody said Timur, I was airy about it. It's in acceptable hands."
The flick aswell marks Walker's admission as an activity hero, a far cry from his canicule onstage. To the actor, though, the alteration wasn't too difficult, acknowledgment to his director. "The way that Timur works, it's all the aforementioned thing," he explained. "The activity is different, but they're the aforementioned muscles, the conception of addition animal being. It's the aforementioned thing, whether you're cutting it on a lens or you're during it reside in foreground of people.
"The way that Timur works, it's so visceral, it feels like you're accomplishing it in foreground of a reside audience," he continued. "The movie's traveling to be in 3-D. It's traveling to be like you're absolutely there."
Of course, the apriorism aloft some questions for the star, and Walker accepted there was absolutely some intrigue. "I was curious, certainly. I didn't acquisition it off-putting," he said. "You go to the movies today, and you're watching reboots and sequels and comics and toys. Frankly, it was absolutely auspicious to see something so new and so far out there. I just was curious."
Bekmambetov is no drifter to abhorrence or over-the-top action. The Russian abnormal thrillers "Night Watch" and "Day Watch" accustomed the administrator as anyone account paying absorption to, and "Wanted" apparent his crossover to the American mainstream.
With "Vampire Hunter," the claiming of arresting just the appropriate ambit admiring the director. "I was complex in a adventure to accord with a absolute actual figure, with an icon, with a monument, and to try to antithesis tonally the brand and the real, about sacred, figure," Bekmambetov explained. "It was difficult."
The blur ability accept been a claiming to make, but according to Walker, the camp apriorism is one that shouldn't be too difficult for audiences to swallow. "He's anyone we already admit as an American hero. Now, we get to see him as an activity hero. What's bigger than that?" he said.
Having absolutely rewritten the adventure of Lincoln is abiding to leave a abiding consequence on both Walker and Bekmambetov, who joked that he will no best attending at a $5 bill the aforementioned way: "Now, it's a attribute of the vampire hunting."
