Bringing you all the latest on the 'Twilight Saga' stars and their other projects!
'It's not like a 'vampire film'; there's so much more to it,' 'Priest' co-star Karl Urban tells MTV News at Comic-Con. Ever since he lit up the screen as delightfully devious "Twilight" villain James, Cam Gigandet's career has been on the rise. When MTV News caught up with him during Comic-Con on Friday (July 23), we asked about his character in the upcoming "Priest" — which is based on the celebrated comic book series — and, since the film coincidentally involves vampires, if he had any hesitation in taking on the part.
"I play Sheriff Hicks," he said. "I'm the sheriff of a small town where my girlfriend gets kidnapped by this pack of vampires, so I enlist Paul Bettany's, Priest's, help, and we are on the road to find and rescue her."
Gigandet said that, although there are vampires involved in the movie, fans expecting the romantic "Twilight"-style vamps will be in for a shock.
"It's very, very different from 'Twilight,' " he said. "The similarities kind of end with what they're called, which is vampires."
Gigandet said the world of "Priest," directed by Scott Charles Stewart, is also entirely different. "The world Scott created is kind of unlike any other," he said. "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]."
Gigandet's co-star, "Star Trek" star Karl Urban, said he's never seen a movie like this. "This is a post-apocalyptic vampire western," he said. "The emphasis isn't heavily on the fact — it's not like a 'vampire film'; there's so much more to it."
As far as what "Twilight" fans can expect to see, and fans of the original comic book, Gigandet and his co-stars said there is something for everyone in the film, because it is emotional and character-driven.
"[There are] so many different levels, and so many people are doing things that sacrifice for all sorts of love," Gigandet said. "It's not just one set love story. There are so many different levels going on."
"Priest" is set to open in May 2011.
Cam Gigandet. Since his role as James in “Twilight”, Gigandet has appeared in a series of mind-bending films ranging in genre from horror, to sci-fi, to sci-fi meets romantic drama. The most widely publicized of was the horror flick “The Unborn” (2009), in which he plays the boyfriend of a woman with an unborn twin who has (literally) come back to haunt her. “Pandorum”(2009) finds Gigandet as a one of a team of futuristic astronauts who awaken on a deserted spaceship to find an evil force aboard. In “Five Star Day” (2010 – the most easygoing of his recent releases) he stars a zodiac skeptic on a journey to learn whether three others born on his birthday in the same hospital had the shared experience of an epically cursed day. According to IMDB, Gigandet has eight more films in production for the remainder of 2010 and 2011.
Rachelle Lefevre. Though Victoria’s character is still alive at this point in the Twilight Saga movies, Rachelle Lefevre’s era playing the part is over. Unlike Gigandet, who seems to have focused solely on film, Lefvere has done projects for both film and television. On the film side, she plays prostitute Laura in “The Pool Boy” (2009), a comedy about a house-sitting teenager who turns the mansion he is watching into a brothel. In 2010 she will appear in a political thriller alongside Kevin Spacey and Kelly Preston in “Casino Jack”. She also starred in the made for television mystery, “Do You Know Me”, about a woman who sees a young picture of herself on a missing children milk carton ad. She has appeared as a guest on “Better off Ted” and is listed as appearing on the new television drama “The Deep End”. Additional projects (e.g., “Barney’s Version”, “The Caller” remain in post-production).
Edi Gathegi. Best-known for stints on popular television dramas such as “House, M.D.” and “CSI”, in the two years since filming “Twilight”, Gathegi seems to be focusing more on film. In “This is Not a Movie”(2009), Gathegi plays a the ghost of a former friend to the mind-tripping main character played by Edward Furlong.. He also played in the pioneering 3-D horror flick, “My Bloody Valentine”(2009) . According to IMDB, he has no pending projects in production.
