Cam Gigandet Joins “Priest”
Cam Gigandet (Twilight, The O.C.) has joined the cast of “Priest“, horror Western for Screen Gems, and will star opposite Paul Bettany in the horror Western from director Scott Charles Stewart.
Synopsis: In the frontier of the American west, a veil of evil threatens to engulf humanity. Servants of the fallen archangel Temozarela are paving the way for their dark lord’s resurrection.
One man stands in the way of the apocalypse-Ivan Isaacs-a fallen priest who sold his soul to the devil Belial for the power to fight evil. Armed with a wicked blade and silver bullets, Ivan will give the heretics a baptism of blood in his pilgrimage for humanity’s redemption.
Ivan Isaacs was once a priest. Devoted to his faith he would have given up anything for it. Then the establishment he believed in turned on him, sending him headlong into Hell. Now, he’s back. With the priesthood now corrupt with demons, the undead and black prayers, he has returned with the help of the demon Belial, a voice in the darkness who offered Ivan a chance at vengeance, in exchange for his soul. With his six-shooter, a bouie knife at his side and the white collar of his former life adorning his neck he is a lost pale rider in a barren wild west where past and future collide.
Cory Goodman (The Brood) wrote the screenplay.
Gigandet, who is currently working on thriller “The Roommate” with Gossip Girl Leighton Meester, plays a young wasteland sheriff who is part vampire. He partners with Bettany to save the girl he loves, the niece.
