PRIEST Spy Photos

Take a careful look at these spy photos from the set of the upcoming adaptation PRIEST, via IESB and JFXOnline, I’ve never read the graphic novel it’s based on but judging from the Paul Bettany and Cam Gigandet‘s costumes, it’s kinda like vampire/sci-fi/western/something. And for somebody who’s playing a vampire-slaying priest, Bettany sure looks like an dark jedi out of a Star Wars movie. PRIEST is currently shooting in Long Beach, CA

PRIEST, starring Paul Bettany as a priest out to kill the vampires that have kidnapped his niece, to be played by Lily Collins
Karl Urban plays the villain, Black Hat, the evil leader of the bloodsuckers who was once a priest and hunter but now fancies himself a god of vampires and Maggie Q as a priestess, a vampire hunter as tough as the priests. Cam Gigandet will play a young sheriff who is half-vampire, assisting Bettany.
Recently we took a look at the first image, Sony Pictures has launched the movie’s official website . Paul Bettany and director Scott Stewart said they’re going to come back to next year’s Comic-Con to promote the movie. Based on a tokyopop comic book created by Hyung Min Woo. This project is not to be confused with Sam Mendes’ PREACHER. Bettany will play the lead as the vampire slaying priest. Cory Goodman wrote the screenplay.
