Screen Gems just released this teaser poster for Priest, Scott Stewart’s upcoming film. You might not be familiar with the director- he’s a visual effects artist and producer whose first feature Legion will be hitting theaters in a month. Interesting how both of Stewart’s films this year are all about Paul Bettany fighting off the supernatural.

That tattoo might seem like a better idea when you find out that Paul Bettany’s character is facing vampires in a postapocalyptic Western wasteland this time around, and actually seems like such a simple idea I’m amazed it hasn’t been done more often. He should tattoo one on his back as well- no vampire will ever get the drop on him then…. if they follow those rules, of course. Bettany’s character is forced to track down a specific group of vampires that have kidnapped his niece, teaming up with a young sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and a priestess (Maggie Q) on the way. Karl Urban, Christopher Plummer and Brad Dourif show up to lend some geek cred as well.
The film’s based on a manga which you can check out in the player below, provided you’re not easily embarrassed or under the age of 13.

Call me when they make "Priest Vs Children: The Loosening"
Wake Me up, when PREACHER IS ANNOUNCED.
Karl Urban still gets work?
Dude, Karl Urban was Bones in Star Trek. Where have you been?
zzzzfat LOL ouch!
Sounds…. interesting. Will check it out eventually but its really not sounding like something Im gonna drop 16 bucks on in the cinema so far.
Paul Bettany is basically Jude Law 2.0
The movie does sounds sorta interesting, though. –dje
Sounds good to me. Paul Bettany is a good actor, like the concept. Although he gets to sleep with Jennifer Connolly every night, so he is by definition a bastard.
Dude, Karl Urban is awesome.
Besides Star Trek and LOTR, he was the best part of the Borune Supremacy.
I feel like the guy has great potential, but pity that he wastes himself in crap like Doom.
Dammit. I read that title and thought "Cool, I'd love to see Judas Priest battling vampires!"
This movie has nothing in common with the graphic novels. Only the character name Ivan Isaacs. It's a shame too. Stupid Hollywood vampire trend.
