Trailer Park - Priest
Yesterday, the trailer for the movie adaptation of the manhwa Priest was released. For those of you who are not familiar with the series, it is about a faithful priest, Ivan Issacs, who accidentally resurrects Temozareal, a bloody angel of Hell. In order to correct this wrong, he sells his soul to the devil.
As with many adaptations, the movie does not follow the story as closely as some fans would like. However, it looks like it is a great story with fantastic visuals. Priest will hit theaters May 13th.
If you want to catch up on the story before the movie hits theaters next summer, why not check out the manhwa by Min-Woo Hyung coming to the Chesapeake Public Library soon.
