Karl Urban is Priest's villain

Star Trek's doc is playing a killer vamp

Aug 21st 2009

Karl Urban is switching from cranky space doctor to evil killer vampire for Priest.

He's joining the cast of Scott Stewart's Priest, which finds Paul Bettany as a warrior man of God battling vamps in a ravaged world, and tracking down the toothy types that have snatched his niece.

And now he has a nemesis: the man behind Bones McCoy has signed on to play Black Hat, a former priest and fang-killer himself who was converted and now sees himself as a god of the undead.

Bettany has help though - Twilight's Cam Gigandet is a fellow priest and Maggie Q will play a kick-ass warrior priestess.

The pic's shooting right now and the madness will arrive next year...
