Priest 2011 Movie Trailers Online

Priest, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world -- one ravaged by centuries of war
between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest 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 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, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff,
and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

Judging from this second trailer for Priest, no expense has been sparred for the action and look of this
post-apocalyptic thriller loosely based on a popular Korean comic. In it, a warrior priest, acting against
the Church’s wishes, tracks down a group of vampires that have kidnapped his niece. Helping with his
endeavor is a wasteland sheriff and a warrior priestess.

The film first entered development in 2005, when Screen Gems bought the spec script by Cory
Goodman. In 2006 Andrew Douglas was attached to direct and Gerard Butler was attached to star. They
were eventually replaced by Stewart and Bettany in 2009 and filming started in Los Angeles, California,
later in the year. The film changed release dates numerous times throughout 2010 and 2011. It was
especially pushed back from 2010 to 2011 to convert the film from 2D to 3D. It is scheduled to be
released in the United States and Canada on May 13, 2011.<a href=”http://watchpriest.com”>Priest

An experimental government program sends soldier Colter Stevens (Gyllenhaal) back in time, where he
wakes up in the body of a commuter who witnesses a train bombing. Presented with just 8 minutes to
figure out who is responsible, his mission is further complicated by his feelings for a fellow passenger
(Monaghan).

Robert Bresson's portrait of a man in physical and spiritual crisis is deceptively austere. That is, the film's
unadorned technique belies the rich subtext; Bresson almost ambushes the viewer with scene after
powerful scene of intense drama. The main character, never identified by name, is a young man who is
in poor health, a man who cannot communicate effectively with people in a profession dedicated to
helping them, a man who is supposed to answer questions of faith but has doubts about his own. When
a veteran priest (Andre Guibert) tells his protégé that a "true priest is never loved," he implies that the
moral authority of the Church the priest represents should be sufficient to cow his flock into submission.
But the young priest's parishioners, from the children in the catechism class who mock him to the Count
(Jean Riveyre) who warns him to go slow on any changes to the parish, sense his uncertainty and render
him irrelevant. His one breakthrough comes with the Countess (Marie-Monique Arkell), a woman in
agony over the loss of a young son and her teenaged daughter's willfulness. The lengthy scene in which
she unburdens herself to the priest, turning her sitting room into a kind of home confessional, is the only
promise of a sense of purpose for the priest. In a filmography (Un Condamne a Mort C'est Echappe,
Pickpocket, Le Proces de Jeanne d'Arc) packed with souls in isolation, none of Bresson's films is more
heartbreaking than this portrait of the cleric as a young man.
