The New York Times has a good article about this film here. Erik (talk | contribs) 15:47, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong

There are a lot of errors in the description of the movie. It doesn't have to be so detailed if these details are wrong.Som examples: Thomas died 8 Years after his wife, Abe kills the Boss Vampire with a clock ans so on. I have no time to make the changes now but hopefully on Monday. 67.175.209.223 (talk) 15:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I began to make the changes, and they were undone, claiming the original was "better." The description of the fight on the burning bridge is wrong, Speed did not betray Lincoln but instead it was part of a planned ruse, and so on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.87.25 (talk) 23:43, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You changed 'plantation' to 'importing house' without explanation. What is an importing house? My recollection is that Plantation is correct. --Williamsburgland (talk) 00:28, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Plantation"? In Indiana???? Somebody certainly got this wrong. Indiana was a "Free" state, as in no slaves and no plantations. Last I checked, the state was definitely north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Aside from the bad geography, Lincoln never lived in Indiana young, or old. His terrain was Kentucky and Illinois.Lorzu (talk) 05:21, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Lorzu The book and film script doesn't follow the original biography, the description in this article follows the movie. Mideal (talk) 22:55, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

9 years later... so there was a sooner? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.194.127.36 (talk) 14:43, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Head vampire poison?

There's something about the film that's got me thinking. The way Abraham's mother and son died in particular. They were bitten by head vampires after all. Where the aforementioned victims were bitten and the effects of those bites to the arm had me suspicious. The film suggests that head vampires kill with poison. Doesn't anyone think that theory?

Barack Obama in final scene

In the final scene, there is a character that may or may not be President Obama. But according to the screenwriter, this is not true. Just putting this up here for informational purposes. http://entertainment.time.com/2012/06/25/spoiler-alert-who-is-the-vampire-hunter-at-the-end-of-abraham-lincoln/ The Watchtower (talk) 07:08, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter (novel): Requested move

Theory

does anyone think that the train escape scene was inspired by the same one from Back to the Future 3? Think carefully, both trains fell to destruction... Visokor (talk) 22:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Screenplay credit

So a previous edit mentions that there is no credit for this screenplay author in the final cut. So has he contributed to the film or not? This require more information beyond looking at screen credits. Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:12, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, the burden is on the person claiming the film credits are wrong. An IP put that in with no edit summary. The onscreen credit given is Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and Simon Kinberg. I see no evidence of any "final cut" that is different. - Gothicfilm (talk) 13:47, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Simon Kinberg would be more of a ghost writer in this case, as he is unscredited with the screenplay in the film. Lokk at the end of the first trailer, and then the end of the final trailer. The first says "Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and Simon Kinberg" and the final just says "Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith". This also happened with Bill Condon in "Beauty and the Beast" (2017).

The onscreen credit given in the film takes precedence over any trailer. The film I've seen says Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and Simon Kinberg. - Gothicfilm (talk) 06:28, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's weird. The movie I saw just says "Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith". Even IMDb just lists him as the only screenwriter. February 1, 2018, 11:46 (CT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnoahflores (talk • contribs) 17:46, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The onscreen credit given in the film takes precedence over any trailer or the IMDb. The film I've seen says Screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith and Simon Kinberg. I still have seen no evidence of any version that is different. Stop repeatedly changing the credit months later. That is slow motion edit warring. - Gothicfilm (talk) 22:04, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think I keep wanting to change it? Because I know I'm right, and I'm determined to proving you wrong. I don't vandalize, I wish you could see my contributions. I saw the onscreen credit. Ignoring IMDb and the trailers, it just says SCREENPLAY BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH. Honestly at this point, I either think you saw a different language version of the film, a rough cut, or you are Simon Kinberg wanting to get the credit he lost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnoahflores (talk • contribs) 16:41, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the original release version, which is also the version shown on premium cable, and is the version that would be listed here even if there were a later version (which I have seen no evidence of). WP uses the original release for the infobox. - Gothicfilm (talk) 21:42, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So there is no other version, but I gave you my evidence that the end credits of the film clearly say “SCREENPLAY BY SETH GRAHAME-SMITH”. Did you even watch the videos? Why don’t you show me evidence, so I can change my mind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnoahflores (talk • contribs) 00:03, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When the source is the film itself - the original release version - we aren't expected to give a link to it. I don't know where your YouTube clips came from. They could be fan made, they could be from that other version you have indicated exists, or they could be from a work print in progress used for the song before the film was released and the credits changed. But those clips are not from the original release version, so we cannot use them as a source here. - Gothicfilm (talk) 01:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I never said another version exists. There is no director’s cut, or rough cut that was ever released to the public. I just want you to show me evidence by taking a video or a picture from your TV or something to prove. Otherwise, I’ll have to consider your are a spammer, or a vandalizer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnoahflores (talk • contribs) 16:23, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See my last entry. You are the one who wants to change the article. Your YouTube clips could have come from anywhere (including fan-made) and do not take precedence over the original release version of the film. That's what we go by. And falsely accusing someone of WP:vandalism got a veteran and useful editor recently blocked. You can't even figure out how to sign your name after multiple posts. Stop edit warring, which includes coming back months later and putting in the same edit yet again, as you have done repeatedly. - Gothicfilm (talk) 01:21, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know how to sign my name, fyi, I just keep forgetting to sign it. Besides, a bot does it, I literally save time. Also, that’s off topic. I’m only here to make sure Wikipedia articles get accurate information. I don’t like how you believe you are right with this one. You want to talk about onscreen credit. I saw the same film that you did, and it only says that Grahame-Smith is solely credited with the screenplay. Also, I never accused you of being a spammer. I said I would consider you if you don’t prove yourself. You’re like a little kid, when someone tells you to do something, and you’re just like “no, I don’t want to.” I’m only doing what’s right, and when a stubborn person who believes their false info is right, that’s when I get annoyed and problems occur. - Iamnoahflores (talk) 21:55, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know what I saw in the screenwriting credit. Pardon me if I don't trust your judgment of credits over my own. You still can't even figure out how to sign your name. It's not done by copy-pasting-half editing someone else's. Now I have to change your user name from linking to mine to linking to yours. Incredible. I have never had to do that before. I'll thank you not to copy-paste my user name again, and not to come back months later and change that credit again. Slow-motion edit warring is still edit warring. - Gothicfilm (talk) 21:30, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh please, I follow the same format the same as you when signing my name, but please, if you’re so strict about me signing my name, I’ll let the bots handle it, they auto sign for me. Also, I know what I saw in the screenwriting credit, (when’s the last time you checked btw?). I don’t trust you either too. How about we got somebody else, besides the two of us to change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnoahflores (talk • contribs) 04:30, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your Talk page shows people complaining of you attempting to move an article using a "cut-and-paste move" (undesirable because it splits the page history) and redirect another article to a draft page. The fact that you now claim I follow the same format the same as you when signing my name, which is clearly not true, shows you still don't know basic minimums of how things work here. I've spent enough time with someone who can't sign his name or indent entries, and then asks when was the last time I checked the credit. I don't know what version you saw, but the credit on the original release of the film has not changed. Leave it alone. - Gothicfilm (talk) 06:00, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you keep bringing up the signing thing? I only started editing 1-2 years ago, explaining the ONE incident in 2017. Anyways, I’ve made enough contributions to be trustworthy. And no, I won’t “leave it alone” because I know what I saw. Stop saying there is other versions btw, I never said there were officially other versions, you’re just putting words in my mouth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamnoahflores (talk • contribs) 15:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ballroom scene music

What's the music played called according to the score list when Abe dances with Mary the first tkime, after being invited together with his boss?

It is a cover of a 1974 German Schlager named "Spaniens Gitarren"... Mideal (talk) 22:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
