Cam Gigandet, one of the blood thirsty evil vampires in the tween girls smash hit Twilight, puts his fangs back on in the very loose Korean comic adaptation of Priest. Taking the role of a half vampire wasteland sheriff who helps in the quest of tracking down Ivan Issacs’ kidnapped niece. Set already in the role of the tormented and damned Issacs is Paul Bettany (Inkheart).

Paul Bettany & Cam Gigandet continue onward in Priest.

The original story of Priest from the comic circles around Ivan Issacs, the hero, is called upon to solve the puzzle that the Domas Porada presents. Upon solving it Ivan is cast onto a cross after witnessing his only love, Gena, die in his arms. It is then that Belial takes Ivan, who in the madness of losing Gena denounces God. Ivan is reborn as an immortal serving Belial. Because of Gena’s death Ivan devotes himself for vengeance against Temozarela and his men. However, Screen Gems decided to make a difference approach on the source material into their own story. In their version, a priest disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece. Quite a change, isn’t it?

Priest, directed by Scott Stewart, is expected to come out in theaters on August 13, 2010.

The newest trailer for The Spirit, Frank Miller’s latest comic adaptation to come to life. Will Eisner’s The Spirit has been a classic for many a comic book fan. With big names like Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson, its sure to bring the pages to life.
