Butler talks Priest
Gerard Butler was talking at Comic-Con this weekend about his new role as the Priest killing Vampire in the movie of the same name. He said a little about the film and how it will be pitched.
From Sci Fi Wire:
This is actually ... a vampire flick, but with a real western feel to it. So it's kind of a really interesting idea...It feels almost like a kind of Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven. That kind of movie. Somebody who's had his day of being at his peak, and now it's past, and yet he's been called to have a bigger test than he's ever had before. So it's ... Unforgiven, Mad Max, but with the feel of The Searchers, you know, the John Wayne [movie], It's a bit difficult to throw all those movies together to give you kind of a feel."
Wow, if only it were going to be all those movies together, however I think we manage to get what he means here. The idea of making it with a feel of those films, the last man fighting against himself and stacked odds would be good, and if they also start looking at making it based in a world of reality then it would be even better.
