Stephen Moyer

Lots of "Priest" news lately, as the cast for Scott Stewart's horror adventure is still growing. The latest to join the upcoming Screen Gems project are Stephen Moyer from HBO's "True Blood" and Lily Collins, who appeared on a couple of episodes of the recent "90210" reboot.

Cory Goodman wrote the screenplay for the project, which follows a warrior priest (Paul Bettany) who turns his back on the church to free his kidnapped niece from the hands of some ruthless vampires. Karl Urban will play the head villain, and Maggie Q is on board as a priestess vampire hunter.

Variety says Moyer will play Bettany's brother. Collins will portray the niece. Also starring is Cam Gigandet, who plays a sheriff teaming up with the priest to save the girl.

Now, Moyer's credits also include "The Starter Wife" (which I've never watched) and "88 Minutes." As for Collins, you will see her soon alongside Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side."
