It’s been just eleven days since we debuted the first trailer for apocalyptic actioner, PRIEST, starring Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Lily Collins, Steven Moyer, Brad Dourif and Christopher Plummer and yet here we are, a new International Trailer containing previously unseen footage!
The film itself looks pretty interesting, I’m kinda digging Paul Bettany as an action hero at the moment and I’m one of the few folk I know who enjoyed Legion. My only worry is this 3D conversion that the film is currently undergoing. As anyone who’s sat through Clash of the Titans or The Last Airbender will attest to, 3D conversion sucks balls. If the film isn’t shot in 3D then don’t convert it to 3D, the quality is nowhere near as good and if anything it can spoil an otherwise visually pleasing film.
That aside, this does look pretty good, so check out the trailer below and please feel free to share your thoughts:
Set for release in spring 2011, this Screen Gems thriller is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi ride, set in an alternate world – one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills. Directed by Scott Charles Stewart and written by Cory Goodman along with Min-Woo Hyung from the graphic novel series “Priest”, PRIEST stars Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Lily Collins, Brad Dourif, Stephen Moyer, and Christopher Plummer.
US Release: 13th May 2011
