First Mad Max: The Fury Road then The Dark Knight Rises and now this. Inception and Bronson actor Tom Hardy continues his Hollywood hot streak with today's buzz that he's up for a leading role in Fox's adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Bloody Disgusting claims the British actor has been offered the role of "Henry Sturges" in the Timur Bekmambetov-directed Lincoln. Tim Burton will produce the horror-history mashup.

Henry is a vampire who saves young Abe's life, nurses him back to health and then mentors him in the ways of the bloodsucking undead. Years later, the then-President Lincoln gives Sturges his secret diaries, which recounts his adventures as a vampire slayer.

Fox has slated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter for a June 22, 2012 release, with filming reportedly commencing this spring.
