Paul Bettany’s done fighting angels in Legion, and chasing Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in The Tourist, he’s ready to stake some vampires! The British actor appears in the new theatrical trailer for his summer action film Priest, which is based on the Tokyo Pop comic book of the same name. Check out the new trailer below…
Amber Heard and Odette Yustman will become victims of circumstance in their upcoming thriller, And Soon the Darkness. If the title sounds familiar it’s probably because it’s a remake of the 1970 feature of the same name. This update co-stars Karl Urban as a less than stellar acquaintance who may or may not be involved with murder and kidnapping. Check out the photos…
After months of anticipation we finally know what Karl Urban will look like as the cult comic character Judge Dredd. The last live action adaptation of Dredd appeared in the mid-nineties and starred Sylvester Stallone in the title role. As you will see, things have changed and Urban is adding his own twist to the part. Take a look below…
Hold on to your futuristic helmets, Karl Urban has just been cast as the new Judge Dredd. He’s the cop with a huge gun and an obsession with the law who was previously played by Sylvester Stallone in the nineties movie that we’d all like to forget but can’t. According to Empire, another adaptation is in the works and Urban has been confirmed to play the title character.
Update: Be sure to check out the first poster of Karl Urban as the villain, Black Hat.
After multiple delays and a 3D conversion, Screen Gems upcoming Manga adaptation Priest has made its way to San Diego Comic-Con. The film is officially scheduled to hit theaters on May 13, 2011 and reunites director Scott Stewart with his Legion star Paul Bettany. Today we took part in the official roundtable interviews for the film that not only featured Bettany and Stewart but co-stars Maggie Q, Karl Urban, and yes Cam Gigandet from Twilight.
The entire event was light and funny. Bettany was hilarious and his young son (who was in the room) came up to him in the middle of the interview and gave him a big kiss! It was very sweet. Later on Stewart was speaking and Bettany came over after he left the table and interrupted to ask the director a question. It was very loose and relaxed. Do you want to hear the other unexpected surprises that popped up? Take a listen…
