The film reviewer Roger Ebert has said that he tries to judge the success of a film based on the intended audience. If something is not his favorite genre, he tries to decide if a film would appeal to fans. So he might not be excited to see a Disney princess movie, but he can try to judge if it is good by the standards of young children and/or their parents.
With this in mind, I think I'm actually more likely to enjoy ALVH on some level than, for example, The Tourist. The Tourist was an attempt at a genre I love, but it was a disappointing film all around (except for Rufus and Timothy Dalton). I have very little interest in ALVH's action-vampire genre, and very little to compare it with, so I hope I can just sit back and take it in.
I'm not sure when I'll get to see it, but I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews of everyone who rushes out to see it on opening night!

The website Shocktillyoudrop has started hosting a series of "graphic novel" comics. So far, there have been two. It doesn't mention it on the page, but if you scroll through the comic to the end, you get to watch a clip from the film! The clips in the first two comics DO NOT show Rufus. However, the upcoming third comic is entitled "Plantation Ballroom," so I have high hopes for that one. I'm not sure when that will be available, but the second one was just posted yesterday. I can't seem to get a link right to the page hosting the comic, but if you click this link, you should find the announcement/link under the headline "Exclusive". Navigation of the comic is kind of weird--either use your mouse to click and drag the page to the left, or use your arrow keypad. www.shocktillyoudrop.com/tags/abraham-lincoln-vampire-hunter

Could you give away a few more details about this cinema, please? Maybe I'll be on a trip to the north of Germany soon and I might be able to arrange a detour to Hamburg to watch ALHV, too.....

www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/jun/14/rufus-sewell-never-played-vampire?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeedRufus Sewell: 'I've never played a vampire before'but the best is the last section: Things will probably get easier as he ages, he grins. He tried to write a script himself, to showcase his own versatility, only to start resenting his own knee-jerk typecasting. "How dare you! I could do so much more!" For now, though, he's cheerily resigned to a fresh batch of cads; a happy self-flagellator, tickled by his own hubris. "My problem is I'm a fussy beggar. I'm starving! But white bread? Oh no ..."

I really am so looking forward to this one!
Ay Ayy -- Hold on ...
T&I was splendid! (Bad Naughty article! Take that comment back and say you're sorry!)
He's a great actor who's strong enough not to let all the rubbish get to him...I know that we all just wish more people appreciated his goodness ...

The Guardian loves Rufus! ;D They always get a great interview out of him. Thanks for posting the link, PGG (and for not posting the whole lot - that bit of profanity might have upset Proboards!

Thanks, PGG, the interview shows what I love most about Rufus, he'd rather not work than take a role that he doesn't find interesting. Even in the bad movies, his character is often the only good, interesting thing in it.

Oh, great interview, thanks PGG! "After I've done something that I'm really proud of and I think changes the way I'm perceived, the immediate reaction is: nothing. After Charles II on TV, Rock'n'Roll on stage, and then Zen, I had the longest spells of unemployment."Ugh, I don't like this pattern. (That name-slip in the article is funny, Tibor is an existing Hungarian name.)There is a new interview video: www.traileraddict.com/trailer/abraham-lincoln-vampire-hunter/interview-rufus-sewell Rufus is the handsomest man in the world.
