The Blu-ray 3D
This effects-and-action-filled movie stars Paul Bettany (Creation), Cam Gigandet (Easy A) and Maggie Q (TV’s Nikita) as rogue warriors on a mission to rescue a beautiful young woman (Lily Collins, The Blind Side) from a priest-turned-vampire (Karl Urban, And Soon the Darkness) who’s bent on destroying humanity.
Directed by Scott Stewart (Legion) and based on the popular Japanese graphic novel by Min-Woo Hyung, Priest also stars Christopher Plummer (The Last Station) and Stephen Moyer (TV’s True Blood). It received a wide release in theaters in the U.S. in mid-May grossed $29 million at the domestic box office after pretty dismal reviews. The New York Times‘ Mike Hale said of Priest: “There’s nothing in the hackneyed story or the derivative action scenes to make you take notice.”

- commentary with director Scott Stewart, writer Cory Goodman, Paul Bettany and Maggie Q
- deleted and extended scenes
- “The Bloody Frontier: Creating the World of Priest“
- “Tools of the Trade: The Weapons and Vehicles”
