Reuniting with his Legion director
Screen Gems. They love to keep it in the family. Look at the last few years and you’ll see similar talent in front of and behind the camera carry through their horror productions. There are numerous examples I could cite, but the most recent is Priest, the horror Western by director Scott Stewart.
Stewart director another upcoming horror film, Legion, and now he’s calling upon that film’s star, Paul Bettany, to take on Priest.
Michael De Luca and Stars Road Entertainment’s Josh Donen are producing for Screen Gems. Mitchell Peck also will produce.
An adaptation of a TokyoPop comic book, Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece. Cory Goodman wrote the screenplay.
