Tom Hardy may play Henry Sturgess in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
In the Seth Grahame-Smith novel, Abraham Lincoln learns that his mother didn't really die of "milk sickness" but rather at the hands of an evil vampire who was collecting a debt.
Tom Hardy could play Henry Sturgess, a vampire who saves Lincoln and then becomes his mentor, teaching him the true nature of good and evil vampires. Sturgess trains Lincoln in the art of combat and teaches him how to track down and hunt evil vampires.
It isn't said if Tom Hardy has accepted the role or not. Timur Bekmambetov will direct the movie from an adapted script by Seth Grahame-Smith.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter comes to theaters June 22nd, 2012 and stars Benjamin Walker, Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson, Alan Tudyk, Rufus Sewell. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov.

I have said it before and i will say it again here. This is the perfect material for Timur Bekmambetov. Now it looks like he is getting an excellent cast together. I cant wait to see this.

He'd be great in the role (if as @cripple noted, he has time). Excellent book!
