Posted 7/23/10 9:01 pm EST by in News


Director Scott Stewart has spoken highly of the "Twilight" and "True Blood" cast members he assembled for the adaptation of Hyung Min-Woo's "Priest." Together with his co-stars Maggie Q and Karl Urban at San Diego Comic-Con this week, Cam Gigandet returned the compliment, even if Stewart's direction proved to be challenging on occasion.

"The world Scott created is kind of unlike any other," Gigandet told MTV News. "Sometimes it was hard to visualize what he had in his mind, but I've seen clips, and its unbelievable. ... Just to work with all of these people, they're such an amazing cast. I didn't have any doubts [about taking on another vampire-related role]." Read More...
