Based on Tokyopop’s popular manga Priest tell the story of a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War 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 an obsessive 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.
This is one of the many films that was scheduled to be released in 2010, until the studio decided to push back the release date, and give the film 3d treatment. I have no intention of paying extra to see the 3D version, I will however be in line to see it in 2D opening weekend.
Priest stars Paul Bettany, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, and Lily Collins. It will be in theaters on May 13, 2011.
