Twilight star Cam Gigandet has been cast opposite Paul Bettany in the forthcoming horror western Priest.
The film, which is an adaptation of the TokyoPop comic series of the same name, is set in a world ravaged by a war between vampire and man. Bettany plays a warrior priest who forsakes the church to hunt down the vampire brood who have kidnapped his niece.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gigandet will play a half-vampire sheriff who teams up with Bettany to find the girl.
It caps off a good week for the actor, who also won "Best Fight" at the MTV Movie Awards for his Twilight brawl.
Priest will be directed by visual effects guru Scott Stewart, who recently wrapped post-apocalypse horror Legion.
