The full theatrical trailer for Priest doesn’t do much to dispel the negativity the (long since disappeared) Comic-Con trailer drudged up in me, though it does continue to showcase some pretty production design. While the world seems like an interesting mix of Blade Runner and Judge Dredd, the I Am Legend-styled, murky CGI vampires just create no interest or horror. I just don’t care about seeing these grey blobs get offed.
Maybe you’ll feel differently after watching the trailer, hosted at Crackle, who unfortunately were not kind enough to allow embedding.
I’ve added a few more photos below to give you a taste, but check it out and let us know if you care about this flick on the CHUD Message Board.

Could go either way. I thought Legion was gonna rock and it's the worst film I've seen this year. I do like the look of it though and Paul Bettany's the man. I do agree that the CGI vampires aren't that great. We really need to get away from this shitty CGI that directors keep using as a crutch. Unless it looks amazing, I say do it practical. That's why Carpenter's The Thing still holds up 30 years later while I Am Legend doesn't even hold up 3 years later.
As shitty as the actual vampires look, I'm pretty impressed by the scale of this movie. That said, Legion *did* set a pretty low standard, so maybe I'm just pleased because it looks better than that.
