Trent Reznor announced on the NIN message board (via /Film) that he is no longer involved in Timur Bekmambetov’s upcoming horror thriller Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. As announced earlier this month, it was reported that Reznor had been tapped to score the film and possibly have a cameo appearance in the movie starring Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Anthony Mackie. Here’s the exact quote from Reznor:
Don’t believe everything you read. As it turns out, I WON’T be working on (acting or scoring) ALVH after all. There’s no juicy story here, it’s just that when the news mysteriously leaked out about my involvement I hadn’t made up my mind completely, because various aspects of the project were changing. I felt the need to say something earlier this week because my inbox was filling up with speculation, and at that moment I thought I would be doing it. Confused yet? Apparently I am. Bottom line, I wish them the best with the film and I’m sure it will still be great.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is scheduled to be released in 3D on June 22, 2012. Check back on this site for updates on the film’s composer and music.
