Priest- Paul Bettany as Futurist Warrior Priest
HRm...what's w/ Bettany and these type of films? Anyway....looks somewhat neat. Not original but it may be fun. Better looking upload of the trailer would probably be better too but whatever.

Screened it today. Delivers pretty much what I had expected from Legion. Solid action flick that rivals the first Underworld. Not sure how this will translate to 3D as there aren't many 3D sight gags, which is a good thing considering the RE:Afterlife 3D looks horrible.

I watched 'Gangster No 1' again this week. Bettany is really good in it.
Shame Bettany is going this route with 'Legion' and crap like this one. I guess he needs money so he's going with paychecks.

Bettany is fine in this flick. The genre and character aren't necessarily new, but he has a better presence than Legion. After this screening, I felt I wouldn't mind seeing him in a sequel. Like I said previously, to me it felt a lot better than Underworld or Resident Evil. And it was a different take on the vampire myths (unfortunately, it seemed like Aliens at times with the little explanation there was and the reveal.)
I had never read the graphic novels, so I wasn't sure of what to expect other than him being a vampire hunter. The futuristic, steam punk, western world was fine. Just needed more backstory on the priests.

Re: Priest- Paul Bettany as Futurist Warrior Priest
It actually looks awesome...in a Judge Dredd remake sort-of-way.
The film looks like to be Urban's next interesting character role since Star Trek. I really hope directors use him as a character actor now, since he's boring and not interesting when he just plays it straight (lord of the rings, pathfinder, chronicles of riddick).
This is getting funny that Bettany is now typecast as a violent religious man.

Damn, Paul Bettany in a movie called Priest, he could have played Rob Halford in a Judas Priest biopic. I think Priest's catalog is on Sony's label as it is. Come on, people!

Looks surprisingly watchable.
But what is up with Paul Bettany and these Bible Noir flicks?

Looks like a fun time-waster.
