New 'Priest' Stills Hit The 'Net

Scott Stewart's first film, Legion, was critically reviled and met with indifference commercially. The former visual effects artist hopes to capitalize on his second chance with Priest, which similarly stars Paul Bettany in a religion-themed horror tale. Slashfilm got their hands on a few stills from the picture, which is set to come out next summer.

Here's the synopsis:

Priest is 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.


Priest hits theaters on May 13th, 2011, positioning it one week behind Thor and one week before Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Um, good luck, father.
