Why am I so excited? Well, because it's a priest kicking some serious vampire butt! And also because there aren't many action films these days with holy men actually doing something other than standing at a pulpit lecturing about evil--WHEN HE IS GOING TO FIGHT IT! :D
According to IMDB.com, Priest is about "A priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece." Huh, interesting.
The graphic novel/anime comic that the movie is based on is penned and created by Min-Woo Hyung with translations, I assume, by Cory Goodman. The movie is specifically based on Priest: Genesis (Priest Ultimate Edition) Volume 1. IMDB also, so far, gives the movie a 6.4/10. Not too bad for not hitting theatres yet.
The film is directed by Scott Charles Stewart and also stars Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Lily Collins, Brad Dourif, Stephen Moyer, and Christopher Plummer.
This seems pretty intense, yet really interesting. If I wasn't such a scardy cat, I would definitely like to see it. When does it come out?
