Paul Bettany to Join Screen Gems' "PRIEST"?
Not content with just one horror project on the horizon, director Scott Stewart is set to reunite with the star of his upcoming supernatural thriller "LEGION", Paul Bettany, as a means to breathe life into the live-action adaptation of Tokyo Pop's comic "PRIEST".According to The Hollywood Reporter the Screen Gems film is being prepped for a release date of August 13th, 2010.
"Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece. Cory Goodman (The Brood) wrote the screenplay."
"I knew the moment I saw Stewart's first cut of 'Legion' [opening in January] that Bettany was Priest and so I mentioned it to him immediately," said Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper. At the time of this writing Bettany is still in negotiations to star.

Synopsis : 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.

Now that is a wonderful idea. He's definitely a hottie and he's kickass as a vampire too. Just look at him as Nomak in Blade II!!!
I would pick a Vampire Leader who is totally a hottie and not so dark and gloomy.. Luke Goss is my pick I love his badness!!!
