Looks like author Seth Grahame-Smith is going to be one rich bastard. His new novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Grand Central Publishing) arrived in bookstores today and is already set to be adapted for the big screen by producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, the visionary team behind last year’s criminally underrated 9.

Tim Burton: Vampire Producer

Smith’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter re-writes history by pitting the 16th U.S. president against an army of vampires in a secret battle set against the backdrop of the Civil War. The 34-year-old author will adapt the screenplay from his novel.

A trailer for the book, directed by Adam Reid, debuted earlier this week.

Take a look:

Also on the horizon for Smith is an adaptation of his Jane Austin-meets-the-living-dead New York Times bestseller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, produced by and starring Natalie Portman and distributed through Lionsgate.
