During the break from shooting
True Blood,
Stephen Moyer will be sticking with the
vampire genre he does so well as
Bill Compton, but this time he will be playing a human in the movie
Priest.
Variety describes the film as a thriller about "a warrior priest who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of
vampires who kidnapped his niece." Paul Bettany has the role of main character Ivan Isaacs, and
Stephen will be playing his brother. The cast also includes Cam Gigandet and Maggie Q as a sheriff and a priestess who help Isaacs track down the bloodsucking gang of
vampires led by Karl Urban. The story is based on a Korean comic book of the same name, which stylistically blends Western themes with dark fantasy.

Directed by Scott Stewart and written by Cory Goodman, Priest is a production of Screen Gems, the studio responsible for the Underworld and Resident Evil series. Filming begins this week in Los Angeles, CA, for a scheduled
US release date of August 13, 2010. International release dates will follow in September and October 2010. This will be
Stephen's first major film role since his success on
True Blood. It will be interesting to see how he is as a human dealing with
vampires for a change! SOURCES:
