Abraham Lincoln driving stakes through vampire hearts and plowing axes through exploding trees. If there's something about this concept that doesn't work for you, you should probably look away now. For the rest of you blood-thirsty movie fans, you'll be very happy to check out the first "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" teaser trailer right here, right now!

Benjamin Walker plays Honest Abe, with a very notable twist: in this revised history, Lincoln spent just as much time slaying vamps as he did signing documents and addressing the people of the United States. Check out the incredibly fun "Abraham Lincoln" trailer in the video below.

Michael Bay is directing "Transformers 4," as MTV News exclusively reported on Monday (February 13). The next outing in the robots-in-disguise franchise won't make its way to theaters until the summer of 2014, however, leaving plenty of time for Bay to figure out the particulars of his developing reboot.

That also gives us plenty of time to speculate on the story for "Transformers 4." With that in mind, here are a few story ideas and casting suggestions for Bay and company to consider!

Bridesmaids

Nine films are nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards this year, begging the question: who deserved a tenth spot on that list? Oscars 2012: 10 Spot answers that question, as the MTV Movies team highlights some of 2011's greatest films and argues why they deserved a nod as the tenth Best Picture nominee.

If there's a movie that made you laugh harder and more consistently in 2011 than "Bridesmaids," I'd certainly love to hear about it. For my money, no such film exists: the Kristen Wiig comedy was an instant classic with all the guffaws and gross-out jokes seen in the "Hangover" movies, but with considerably less bro-humor and a whole lot more brains.

I enjoy "The Phantom Menace." I know I'm in a small club of people who don't think the first entry in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy is wholesale trash. And I know it's an unpopular group to be a part of, but I stand by my membership. Sure, the first two hours are pretty much garbage, but then you get duel of the fates! Darth Maul with a double-edged lightsaber! It's so wonderful!

But Simon Pegg disagrees. He thinks there's nothing whatsoever to enjoy about "Phantom Menace." In the latest episode of After Hours, he does his best Red Letter Media impression and tears the 1999 "Star Wars" movie to shreds in a quick two-minute assault. It's hard to disagree with him on any of his points, really. But no amount of sense or logic will ever convince me that duel of the fates isn't awesome.

Hear all about Pegg's "Phantom Menace" vendetta in this week's After Hours.

Trailers, trailers and more trailers — that's the theme of the week in movie land, it seems, and also the main focus on the newest episode of Talk Nerdy!

This week, we're joined by MTV News' hip hop senior writer Rob Markman as we dive into the "Bourne Legacy" trailer, the "Amazing Spider-Man" trailer and even assemble "The Avengers" for a spell. Plus, what's new in theaters this weekend? Lots and lots, including "Safe House," "Journey 2" and a movie that's bound to score points with your date of choice... and no, that movie probably isn't "The Phantom Menace 3D."

Bourne Legacy

There was never just one — you just didn't know that the other one was played by Jeremy Renner!

Well, now you do, especially with the release of the first teaser trailer for "The Bourne Legacy." Renner makes his entry into the spy drama franchise following the exit of long time lead Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass, but Jason Bourne he is not: this is Aaron Cross, a new breed of amnesiac assassin who has his own share of grudges to make right.

Spider-Man does whatever a spider can, and that apparently includes spinning amazing trailers in addition to amazing webs. The second trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man" swung online early Tuesday morning (February 7), bringing fans their best look yet at Andrew Garfield's take on Peter Parker. If you ever doubted his ability to crack wise and have fun while busting bad guy butt, doubt no more—but make no mistake, there is a sense of realism and darkness here that was not present in the Sam Raimi era of "Spider-Man." Certainly an intriguing trailer, even if Lizard still looks just okay.

Check out the trailer below, and tune into MTV Splash Page throughout the week for plenty more "Spider-Man" updates!

G.I. Joe

"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" is shaping up to be one of the can't-miss movie events of 2012. Not only did it kick ass and take (a few) names during the MTV Movie Brawl, it also unleashed one of the greatest Super Bowl commercials of the entire game (which you can watch below), thanks to its star-studded cast led by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Bruce Willis.

Those two real American heroes get the spotlight in a terrific new Hero Complex interview that also debuts a brand new photo from "Retaliation." See that photo above you, then click on for highlights from the interview.

It's been a big week in nerd news. "Watchmen" prequels are officially on the way in the form of "Before Watchmen," seven interconnected comic book miniseries that chronicle Rorschach and pals before their fateful encounter in the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel. Speaking of chronicles, Josh Trank's found-footage superhero flick "Chronicle" is out in theaters this week, and it's awesome. But it's got stiff competition in the form of Dan Radcliffe's big-screen comeback and a whale of a drama. Get more on that, plus some talk about Spidey's canceled "Avengers" cameo, in this week's Talk Nerdy!

Watch Talk Nerdy!
