First Poster for Priest

22 December 2009 1:30 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Paul Bettany is a busy guy at the moment with Legion coming out in the new year and this movie, ‘Priest’ in which he stars alonside Cam Gigndet, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, Lily Collins, Steven Moyer, Brad Dourif, and Christopher Plummer.

Priest is directed by Scott Stewart, the same chap who did Legion so I’m guessing that Bettany and he got on pretty well. Thanks to Collider.com for sharing the poster, they also give us the synopsis:

Priest tells the story of a warrior priest (Bettany) who disobeys Church law by teaming with a young sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and a beautiful priestess (Maggie Q) to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest’s niece before they turn her into one of them.  The film co-stars Karl Urban, Lily Collins, Steven Moyer, Brad Dourif and Christopher Plummer.

Priest is scheduled for release summer 2010. Click the poster to enlarge. »

First Poster for Priest Starring Paul Bettany

22 December 2009 11:12 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

If you look at some of the film’s Paul Bettany has done in the past several years: The Reckoning, The Da Vinci Code, Creation, Legion, and now Priest, the guy may have some interest in the inherent drama of the implications and applications of Christianity.  I could be totally off-base with this assumption, but then again, the first poster for Priest features him with a tattoo of a crucifix on his face while hellfire burns around him.  It’s possible that the film may not be the Pope’s favorite of 2010.

Priest has Bettany re-teaming with Legion director Scott Stewart in the story of a warrior priest (Bettany) who disobeys Church law by teaming with a young sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and a beautiful priestess (Maggie Q) to track down a band of renegade vampires who have kidnapped the priest’s niece before they turn her into one of them. »

A Preview of the Legion: Prophets Prequel Comic Book

22 December 2009 10:49 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Wow, is this the future of comic books? Artwork and dialogue translated into a digital version with “moving” art and added sound effects? Maybe I’m just a purist, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to “read” comic books this way. Also, I’m a pretty slow reader, and I like to get my fill of a page before I flip on to the next one, and I’m not sure if I want some video demanding I read faster. I’m just saying, it ain’t the boss of me. In any case, here’s a preview for the new comic book “Legion: Prophets” from Idw Publishing. “Prophets” is a prequel to the upcoming movie by Scott Stewart starring Paul Bettany as a fallen angel who comes to Earth to save humanity. Tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. In the supernatural action thriller Legion, »

22 December 2009 7:33 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Screen Gems is quickly becoming a studio/distributor with a solid line-up of genre films on their slate. Here’s a few screen-caps and synopses of their heavy-hitters, two of which star Paul Bettany!

Legion - January 22

“In the supernatural action thriller Legion, an out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race.

When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse.  Humanity’s only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany).”

Dear John – February 5

Trailer: Legion – Motion Comic

22 December 2009 7:20 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

The Scott Stewart directed supernatural thriller  of Legion starring Paul Bettany looks like being a wonderfully violent and nasty film, and the trailer which debuted this summer had a nice vibe, sort of The Mist meets From Dusk till Dawn.

Recently we’ve seen a slew of motion comics, which is a process of animating the still frames of a comic book and now Legion has had the same treatment – and the trailer is now available below.

Paul Bettany does the voiceover for this and it looks to be a great accompaniment to the film which is released in January 2010.

Enjoy.

New Clips from Legion and Daybreakers

19 December 2009 7:43 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Guess what sci-fi/action/thriller fans? We’ve got a double dose of awesome for you today. That’s right, we’re bringing not one, but two clips for you to geek out over. No thanks needed, it’s our pleasure to serve.

The first clip comes from the Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid film, Legion. If you’ll recall from our previous coverage (including the Red Band trailer we shared back in August), Legion is the story of a diner full of people who attempt to fight off an apocalyptic army of angels sent by God to destroy humanity. Among the characters is the Archangel Michael (played by Bettany), who, for some reason which I hope the film will explain, decides to ignore God’s bidding and help save humanity instead. Dennis Quaid (looking craggier than ever) and Tyrese Gibson also star as two of the diner’s denizens »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Two

16 December 2009 3:18 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Case 39

Opens: January 1st 2010

Cast: Renée Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper, Kerry O'Malley

Director: Christian Alvart

Summary: A family services social worker thinks she has seen it all until she meets her newest, most mysterious case - a troubled 10-year old girl whose parents try to kill her. The social worker decides to take her in herself until the right foster family comes along.

Analysis: Despite the presence of promising German director Christian Alvart ("Pandorum"), 'Case' has sat on a shelf since late 2006 and is finally being quietly shuffled out this year for one very good reason - it stinks. Having opened in Australia a few months back, reviewers utterly savaged the film as both incredibly dumb and utterly ludicrous. Lead star Renee Zellweger also scored personal criticism to a level rarely seen in film reviews outside of comments about Nicole Kidman's 'more alien than the »

Border Crossing Horrors Abound in Chris Peckover's Undocumented

15 December 2009 1:37 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

There are plenty of real life horrors out there to go along with the made-up stuff that we hold near and dear. In fact, there's probably more. Constant jokes are made about Mexican border-crossers, but the way our country is going ... pretty soon the shoe is likely to be on the other foot. Director Chris Peckover is taking the subject of "illegals" and adding a horror twist to the affair.

Bloody-Disgusting scored the skinny on Peckover's new film, Undocumented, which tells the tale of a documentary crew who accompany a group of illegal immigrants crossing the border but run afoul when they're captured by a gang of sadistic radicals in New Mexico.

The film, said to be a cross between Paranormal Activity and Saw, was shot on location in New Mexico and stars Scott Mechiowicz (Mean Creek), Alona Tal (Night of the Living Dead: Origins), Greg Serano (Terminator: Salvation), Kevin Weisman, »

First Legion Clip

14 December 2009 4:59 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

A few weeks ago I got to see about twenty minutes from Screen Gems upcoming movie Legion.  While I didn’t see enough footage to say if the final film is going to be worth our time, one of the clips they showed us was great, and it just so happens Screen Gems released a clip from the scene today.  Since I’d rather not spoil it, hit the jump and check it out.  But I will say it involves a grandma named Gladys…

If you enjoy the clip, watch the trailer further down the page as it has a bit more from the scene.

If you’re not familiar with Legion, it’s a supernatural action thriller where an out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race.  When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. »
