Karl Urban has signed on to play the villain in Priest, Screen Gems’ post-apocalyptic horror thriller directed by Scott Stewart, says Superherohype via The Hollywood Reporter.
Adapted by Cory Goodman from a TokyoPop comic, the film is set in a world ravaged by war between man and vampires. Paul Bettany stars as a warrior priest and vampire fighter who teams with a sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and warrior priestess (Maggie Q) to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.
Urban plays Black Hat, the evil leader of the bloodsuckers who was once a priest and hunter but now fancies himself a god of vampires.
There is still no firm release date for the film, although it’s pretty safe to say now that the pieces are coming together, we should be expecting this somtime in 2010.
