According to The Hollywood Reporter, TWILIGHT and THE UNBORN star Cam Gigandet has signed on to star opposite Paul Bettany in the upcoming horror Western PRIEST, from director Scott Stewart.

Not to be confused with the graphic novel PREACHER, PRIEST is based on a TokyoPop comic book, set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.

Hell yeah. Gigandet will play a young wasteland sheriff who partners with Bettany to save his niece. He also happens to be part vampire, so that should be interesting. Where’s Blade when you need him? This flick actual sounds pretty damn cool, and everything I’ve seen from the source material is solid, so if it lives up to the comic book, I think we’ll be in for quite a treat.
