Joaquin Phoenix bails on Abraham Lincoln -- see who may be hunting Vampires in his place up next!

Hey Everyone, I'm Chelsea Cannell, thanks for tuning in to Clevver Movies!

Lots of news to report about next summer's big Blockbuster in the making - "Abraham Lincoln: vampire hunter."

The casting carousel is turning and it looks like Joaquin Phonenix has jumped off the project, while Dominic cooper, Anthony Mackie and Robin McLeavy may be jumping on.

Cooper is taking over the part of Henry Sturges now that Joaquin is out - Mackie will play the part of Lincoln's best friend - and word is Robin McLeavy is circling the scripts female lead Mary Todd.

And don't forget, we already found out that Benjamin Walker has been cast to play the part of the vampire-hunting president!

Director Timur Bekmambetov reportedly made the choice to cast lesser known stars versus big name actors

The Tim Burton produced flick is set to hit theaters on June 22nd 2012.

So with Joaquin Phoenix out, it seems the film may have lost some of it's star power -- But what do you guys think about the current state of the casting rumors?

Is there anyone your interested in from the current list or anyone we haven't mentioned that you'd like to see join the project?
