Sewell told the UK Guardian he had only seen an eight minute reel on the movie, but "What I saw looked quite good." Watch a trailer below.

Rufus Sewell is the lead vampire honest Abe will hunt down in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

The upcoming movie opens this Friday and the 3D film from Timur Bekmambetov is a movie about the 16th president discovering that vampires are planning to take over the world.

The film was adapted from Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Sewell told the UK Guardian he had only seen an eight-minute reel on the movie, but "What I saw looked quite good."

"Bits of it I didn't expect to look exciting looked exciting. Making it was fun but bewildering and I didn't know if that bewilderment would transfer to my performance. I'll stick my neck out and say I hope it's quite good. I'll go so far."

See a trailer on video below.

Sewell talks about more on life and love here from the Guardian.

More movie notes...

Benicio Del Toro is set to star in 'Jimmy Picard'.

The 'Che' star will take on the lead role in Arnaud Desplechin's drama which has been adapted from 'Psychothearpy Of A Plains Indian' by ethnologist and psychologist Georges Devereux.

The movie will tell the true story of a friendship between a Native American soldier (Del Toro) identified under the alias Jimmy Picard - and a French pyshoanalyst (Mathieu Amalric).

It follows Picard as he returns from World War II suffering from a variety of symptoms for which no physical cause can be found.
After being referred to the famous Winter Hospital in Kansas, he strikes up a friendship with Devereux through his counselling sessions.

The movie will also star Gina McKee.

Last year Benicio pulled out of negotiations to appear in 'Star Trek 2'.

He had been in talks to play the lead bad guy in the forthcoming J.J. Abrams-directed sequel - starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana - but "monetary issues" ended chances of him starring.

He will next be seen in Oliver Stone's 'Savages'. He recently joined the cast of 'Agent: Century 21' alongside Cameron Diaz
