A little over a week ago we informed y’all that Scott Stewart’s PRIEST, his second faith-based horror flick in as many years, has gotten the back burner treatment yet again. And even though the flick won’t bless theaters until May 13, 2011, it appears EW just nabbed the first official still from the sumbitch. Cop a gander at Paul Bettany with a cross embossed on his forehead below!

Adapted by Min-Woo Hyung’s graphic novel series by Cory Goodman, PRIEST revolves around a priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece. Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, Lily Collins, Stephen Moyer, Madchen Amick, Brad Dourif and the great Christopher Plummer all play a vital role in the film.

The following is a quote EW equipped the new image with:

“Bettany plays a vampire-hunting man of the cloth in Priest (due out in 2011), set 
in a dystopian future where the bloodsuckers are confined to reservations. “In our world, priests are like Jedi Knights with special powers and training,” explains director Scott Stewart (Legion). “Our vampires are more feral and disturbing than, say, the teen-angst vampires of Twilight or the sexy vampires of True Blood. Those vampires are metaphors. Ours aren’t.”

PRIEST meets his maker May 13th!
