Priest: actor in talks

If you’ve been reading the comment thread on my review of Legend of the seven golden vampires you’ll know that we have diverted from the film to the subject of vampire/westerns cross-over movies.

One that has been touted recently, based on a comic book, is priest; a brief synopsis reveals that the story centres on a warrior priest who disobeys church law by teaming with a young sheriff and a priestess to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest's niece. Not your atypical western setting in this, however, as it is a post-apocalyptic western.

Yahoo News has reported that Gerard Butler (Dracula 2000) is in talks to star in the film. More news when it appears.
