Sony Screen Gems released a new one-sheet for PRIEST; check it out below. The poster is Photoshop-heavy, matching the abundance of CGI we’ve seen in the trailers, so it looks like there will be a lot of artificiality to this one. It doesn’t help that it is post-converted into 3D, but we’ll see what happens when the film hits theaters on May 13. Here’s the plot:
PRIEST is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. Paul Bettany is Priest, a legendary warrior priest during the last Vampire War, who now lives in obscurity among the other human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities controlled by the Church. But when his 18-year-old niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires in the desolate wastelands outside, Priest breaks his sacred vows and ventures out to find her and seek vengeance upon those responsible, especially their brutal leader (Karl Urban). Priest is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, Hicks (Cam Gigandet), a local outpost sheriff, and Priestess (Maggie Q), a member of his former legion of vampire-killers who has otherworldly fighting skills.
PRIEST is directed by Scott Charles Stewart (LEGION) and written by Cory Goodman (APOLLO 18), as based on Min-Woo Hyung’s Tokyo Pop comic title of the same name. The vampire flick stars Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q (below), Lily Collins, Christopher Plummer, Stephen Moyer and Brad Dourif.
