New trailer for PRIEST starring Paul Bettany & Karl Urban – post-apocalyptic awesomeness!

We’ve been following the movie PRIEST pretty closely. At San Diego Comic-Con in 2010, I spoke with stars Paul Bettany and Karl Urban (you can see those interview clips below the new trailer) about their roles in the film, and I can honestly say so far everything I’ve seen look pretty impressive. Today we’re treated to another new trailer (previous trailer posted here) which shows even more action and cool effects. Check it out below. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills. Also stars the great Christopher Plummer.  Take a look for yourself and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
