Maggie Q joins cast of 'Priest'

Paul Bettany and Cam Gigandet are in for some company, as Maggie Q has officially joined Scott Stewart's upcoming "Priest," based on TokyoPop's comic book of the same title.

Cory Goodman wrote the screenplay for the project, which follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns his back on the church to free his kidnapped niece from the hands of some ruthless vampires.

The Hollywood Reporter says Q will play a priestess vampire hunter. Gigandet plays a sheriff who is part vampire and teams up with the priest to save the girl.
