Live-Action Priest
As announced by Tokyopop at Anime Boston, Viggo Mortensen will play the lead character in the live-action adaptation of Priest. Based on the Korean manwha, a fallen priest named Ivan Isaacs sells his soul to the devil Belial in order to fight the evil servants of fallen archangel Temozarela. Their plan -- to bring apocalypse to the human race, of course.
The adapation will be produced by Sam Raimi and directed by Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror -- 2005 remake). The manwha was conceived by Min-Woo Hyung, who previously created Island and Ragnarok.
I just hope the script adaptation will be excellent. That's all I care.
*UPDATE* Ok. Ok. So It's Gerard Butler. Jesus.

Viggo Mortensen has not signed up for "Priest". He turned it down several months ago!
