“Abraham Lincoln” and “Twilight” gave the idea for “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter” author Seth Grahame Smith

The Hollywood Reporter caught up with “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter” author Seth Grahame Smith at WonderCon 2012 where he talked about how he got the idea for the book and it has to do with Abraham Lincoln and Twilight. 

Smith revealed that the idea for the book came while he was touring the country promoting his previous book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It was 2009, and the country was celebrating the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth and in the midst of the Twilight craze. In many bookstores Smith visited, the two subjects were displayed side by side.

“I thought, rather cynically, if you combine those two, you’d be on to something,” he recalled

Smith, as well Bekmambetov and Walker, stressed how much research was done to make the movie as historically accurate as possible, despite the genre mash-up.

Smith compared Lincoln (and the movie) to a comic-book hero.

“This really is a superhero origin story,” he said. “He’s the CEO of the country, and he saved the country. He’s the only true American superhero that I can think of.”

He also took on the prevailing influence of vampires, due to the Twilight movies, slyly playing to the crowd without overtly dissing Stephenie Meyer‘s creation. 

“I’m not a Twilight hater. I have a lot of respect for Stephenie Meyer…it’s good for movies, it’s good for literature,” he explained. “That said, our vampires don’t sparkle.”

The audience laughed and cheered.

It was Walker, however, who offered perhaps the panel’s best line during the Q&A portion, when one audience member asked if President Obama could be a vampire killer, and if so, what would be his weapon of choice?

“Diplomacy,” responded Walker.
