Lily Collins and True Blood’s Stephen Moyer in Priest

Last Friday we reported that Karl Urban had joined Paul Bettany and Maggie Q in the Priest, a film by Scott Stewart based on a TokyoPop comic. According to Variety, Priest, described as a horror/western, has added a little True Blood and 90210 pedigree to its cast with the additions of Stephen Moyer and Lily Collins.

Film Synopsis:

…set in a world ravaged by war between man and vampires. Paul Betany stars as a warrior priest and vampire fighter who teams with a sheriff (Cam Gigandet) and warrior priestess (Maggie Q) to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.

The film hits the young demographic in Lily Collins as Phil Collins’ little girl gets in on another reasonably large role (she will be in The Blind Side this November, which stars Sandra Bullock and Kathy Bates among others). The report indicates he will play the role of Bettany’s niece. She also has appeared in 90210 as Phoebe Abrams.

Moyer is is probably now best known for his role as Bill Compton in HBO’s True Blood, and will play the (mortal) brother of Bettany.
