Postapocalyptic Vampire Western - Priest
Ok, we've already well established years ago that I am a card carrying geek. No argument. So when I hear of a movie described as a "postapocalyptic vampire western", how on earth can I help but be at least a little intrigued?

Priest is the name of the film. The good folks over at Cinescape give us this:

PRIEST will follow a warrior priest played by Butler who disobeys the church law and teams with a young sheriff played by Strait and a priestess. Together they attempt to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest's niece.
Sound a bit formulaic? WHO CARES?!?!?! This sounds awsome!!! Sign me up!

Already set to star in the film is Scotish born actor Gerard Butler (Beowulf and Grendel, Phantom of the Opera). Directing will be Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror). Come on kids... say it with me again:

"Postapocalyptic vampire western" Yay!!!
