An avid history buff, actor Bill Oberst Jr. agreed to take on the role of Lincoln, provided he could deliver the Gettysburg Address. Much to his excitement, he was able to do so, which he did mostly from memory, having played Lincoln multiple times on stage.
Teddy Roosevelt was two years old at the beginning of the civil war far too young to walk softly and carry a big stick
In a 2008 episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, S2E7 Brothers of Nablus, a character pitches this idea for a movie: "It's 1863 and Abraham Lincoln is on the train to Gettysburg. But his train breaks down in some small Pennsylvania town. So he's gotta stay there overnight. The only problem? Town's overrun with zombies."
Bill Oberst Jr. (Abraham Lincoln) plays two different zombies in the 2011 TV series Death Valley (2011).
The film was released on May 29th, 2012 to capitalize on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012), which was released in the U.S. on June 22nd, 2012.
