From evil vampire to... less evil vampire!

Twilight fans and manhwa fans take note: The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Cam "Evil James" Gigandet will star opposite Paul Bettany in Priest, an adaptation of the well-known horror/Western/Gun Fu manhwa by Hyung Min-Woo. Gigandet will apparently play a half-vampire sheriff in the movie, while Bettany will play a warrior priest.

Note: Speaking of typecasting, hasn't Bettany already played his fair share of creepy religious dudes?
