Karl Urban is sharpening up his snarling skills to play the rogue in Screen Gems’ “Priestâ€.
The “Star Trek†and “Pathfinder†star will play Black Hat, an evil vampire leader in the Scott Stewart-directed flick.
Adapted by Cory Goodman from a TokyoPop comic, “Priest” 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.
The character of Black Hat was, like Bettany’s character, a Priest but now fancies himself somewhat of a god among the bloodsuckers.
The flick begins production next week in Los Angeles.
