Okay, there's a problem when a "Twilight actor" gets mentioned in the headline, while Paul Bettany is merely "also" in the film. Stupid Twilight.

To be fair, I think they put Cam Gigandet's name in the title because he was recently added to the cast.

Older news already mentions Paul Bettany.

DJ Milky must've shaken off his mid-life crisis to get this going it seems.

Is it just me, or did the description of the manwha seem absolutely nothing like the description of this movie?

I'm rather tired so when I first read the headline I thought it said "Preacher" and got excited, until I realized that it said Priest and that this is an anime website so they wouldn't report on American comic things...

When will America learn that it's best to keep movies based off of anime/manhwa/manhua to the Asians?

Hmmm.... I can smell epic fail. Sounds like a quick and silly Hollywood conversion IMHO.

But we can but live in hope of a miracle, or some common sense.

Yea it was, they only have up to Volume 16.. I want it finished! Min-Woo Hyung said in an interview in one of the Volume releases that he planned for it to go to 25, or atleast would like it too.

I've always wondered why it stopped and why they're wasn't anything that was reported as to why either.

Anyone else know more?

Need to see a bit more. Just because an actor has been in certain roles doesn't mean that they can't do a good job.

I need to see set pics or something. To give me a good feel before I down it or not.

It's nice to see no one cares about the source material. I think it's safe to say that this is not Priest.

Doesn't sound like the original source at all to me. It sounds a little like Vampire Hunter D.
