Maggie Q Joining the Cast of Priest

Today comes word from THR that Asian action star Maggie Q will be joining the ranks of Scott Stewart's Priest for Sony Screen Gems. Q has been in a countless number of Asian films but most notably she has appeared in Mission Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard.

Adapted by Cory Goodman from a TokyoPop comic, "Priest" is set in a world ravaged by war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who teams with a sheriff (Gigandet) to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece. Q will play a priestess -- a vampire hunter as tough as the priests -- who also joins Bettany.
