200906100852.jpg Cam Gigandet is set to play another vampire role, following up on his Twilight stint, according to MTV

“Twilight” villain Cam Gigandet will make the leap onto the paneled page with a starring role in “Priest” based on the TokyoPop comic book series, says The Hollywood Reporter — and he’s taking his blood-sucking sensibilities with him.

Directed by Charles Stewart, “Priest” is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.

Check out the new pics of Cam from yesterday at Just Jared Jr.

    Hello Gigandet ;)

    I loved him as James, I will miss him in newmoon, even though he was a psycho vampire trying to ruin the Bella and Edward loving *sighs* lol

    This movie sounds good, Paul Bettany playing the priest and Cam as the blood sucking Vamp, i'll sure watch it.

    It's not out until August 2010 which sucks, but i'll be sure to mark it off in my twilight calander

    LMAO!!!
  • Hope thats not the same calendar i just got in the post from amazon today? it opens like a book, so you can't hang it up and see both the picture and the months?

    *Bashes head off wall*
  • Kim1524 (Fanfic Junkie)
    LOL

    I got mine in the post this morning too, and yes it's the one that opens like a book, but you can hang it and see both the pics and the months

    it already has two holes pre made on either side, so just stick 2 nails in your wall and away you go :D
  • TWO NAILS????

    That sounds like work...
  • Kim1524 (Fanfic Junkie)
    Thats why you get someone else to do it for you ;)
  • Hmmm why is it that when I think handyman I get an image of Rob Pattinson in overalls and no top?

    I'm losing it...
  • tiffanyf105
    i like the sound of that!
  • Kim1524 (Fanfic Junkie)
    I'm pretty sure if Rob was a handyman homes everywhere would be pretty much destroyed

    I mean have you seen those hands of his, they look like they could work magic lol
  • Ima miss him too even though he hurt our Edward, still love him :)
  • i agree ....i cant wait to see this movie :D
  • Melissa
    Actually he presents pretty cocky and I am glad his face won't be in newmoon. He just has this arrogance that is a bit annoying which you can see in all his recent appearances. Blah
  • FIRST??
  • IndiesR
    Congrats on first! :)
  • Fangs very much!

    *holds trophy in air*
  • IndiesR
    Damn it! You got a trophy?!
    LMAO!
  • 4thewolf
    ROTFL... "Fangs very much!" what happened in the atmosphere last night. EVeryone just suddenly woke up with a sense of humor...
    Congrats, girl....
    (how come I never got a trophy..maybe it was b/c I was first on a vamp post....snarl, growl, mutter.. oh well...)

    Hey Girls! You all asleep?
  • mschicklet
    I'm in CA and it's 6am right now, so maybe people are still snoozing.
  • No WAY! I never thought of that!! It is half 2 in the afternoon here (Dublin, Ireland) so I expect the whole world to be on ME TIME...see?
  • mschicklet
    Wow Ireland? I am constantly amazed at how stretched we all are across the world. When I'm sitting here reading comments, I usually just assume (ignorantly I'll admit) that everyone lives near me, until people speak up and say otherwise.

    Now I'm all fascinated!! I've never been even close to Ireland!
  • Well i'm sure you know its very rainy here, which used to be a bad thing... now we quite enjoy it... hmmm wonder why? ;-P
  • mschicklet
    :) If you have any vampire sightings, let me know!!
  • the only bloodsuckers here are the banks and the fleas...

    WAIL!!!
  • tiffanyf105
    i live in miami and its been rainy here too. everyone complains but i like it. reminds me of a special place :)
  • and third! this is too good!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    LMAO!
  • IndiesR
    Yay Cam! You go boy...does he take his shirt off?! LOL
  • Kay... I'm bored of talking to myself now...

  • IndiesR
    HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
  • Phew for a minute I thought the universe had exploded...

    Whats that movie with Will Smith, as the only man alive? That was nearly me, Man!
  • IndiesR
    "I am Legend" hahaha

    I think everyone else is on the other post being mean to Kristen...awe well, I say give a little love. hahaha
  • tiffanyf105
    haha. i agree!

    and yayy cam! hotness!
  • I ducked over there to see and you are right they are all like (*does best valley high accent) "Oh my GAWD Kristen is such a Bee-ach, I hate her! Oh and have you seen her hair? Oh my GAWD its like... so... stupid! I hate her! Oh-Kaaaay?"

    It was like a script from Mean Girls!

    You'd think the girl had shaved her head mid New Moon filming... One post said "What about Eclipse?" LOL, as if Kristen is gonna sit around waiting for that to start filming and turn down the role of a lifetime... What wallys!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Like, TOTALLY!

    She's a rock star.... I love her.... anyone got a problem wit dat!? ;)

    *looks around intimidatingly*
  • mschicklet
    Cam and his girlfriend are cute together. They were adorable at the MTV Movie Awards :)
  • Binta
    Cam is absolutely gorgeous!
  • Well he makes one hot vampire. I am looking 4ward 2 having 'James' resurrected lol
  • RobCakes
    Yum yum. Heeeeellooo Cam's tongue ;)
    *wipes up drool from desk*
  • I love his little family with his new baby. He's getting alot of recognition and alot of projects to do. Congrats to Cam! Can't wait to see him in another vamp role. He was bas a$$ in twilight!
  • *practically sings* I love this man so very VERY much. Why did he have to die in Twilight? I never gave up hope that just because Bella blacke dout and Edward said "We took care of him" that he didn't somehow escape. Our maybe Edward meant something different and by 'taking care of' that he was wrapped in a quilt with hot chocolate and Rosalie was playing piano for him. Alas, he was once and for all dead. I nearly cried in the movie when Edward had him pinned. This sounds like my type of movie, so I hope it comes out in Australia!
  • LMAO
  • 4thewolf
    ROTFL......
    You are hilarious!!! Perhaps the hot chocolate and piano will work it's magic on him and you'll find him working at a coffee shop somewhere near a beach... he'll be all mellow, go to piano bars at night, and just down coffee to get rid of the occasional blood lust. Would you still like him if he changed, though?
    lol
  • That is so true. With people queing up to put sun tan lotion on his back... and those abs...

    He could totally be a retired vampire and play bowls and bingo in his downtime. I could just see him on a beach somewhere twinkling away with a massive coconut in hand. (NO NOT THAT TYPE OF COCONUT YOU DIRTY MINDED BEAST).

    Hell yes I would like him if he changed. If he kept the body, that is. Sometimes, one can get a little chubbier in the down time... Yes, I'm shallow. Deal.
  • 4thewolf
    LOL... WEll, perhaps he could take up surfing to please you..

    lol
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    If it pleases you, master.
  • 4thewolf
    *blush*
    LOL
    HEy, if he doesn't mind....
  • mschicklet
    LOL @ the hot chocolate/quilt image :)
  • covered_in_feathers
    Yay!! Can't wait to see it.. I hope he takes his shirt off. He was hot in twilight but I think he looked better in Never back Down.
  • twilightfan
    I wish that he could be in new moon even if i know he cant
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    I like Cam a lot, don't you?
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Oh yeah, totally, he's hot.... definitely hot.

    *fans self*
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    I heard he won best fight 2 years in a row! He rocks!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Yeah I heard that too.... maybe he'll make it 3 years in a row! Can't wait to see next year!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Me either, gotta scoot and see what's up on the KStew thread, though... see ya!
  • Don't go there - they are all in bad bad bad form... Its like a high school girls bathroom
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)

    Yes, it's really stupid how people can bring such negativity to a post, just because she cut her hair?!?
  • Yeh the cheek of her! Who does she think she is? Kristen Stewart?

    I mean who ever heard of an actress playing a part? Who did? Who would have ever thought an actual actress would actually play an actual part? WHO???
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Yeah, like, how DARE she take on another roll and look the part!!! She's BELLA!!! Doesn't she know that her life is OVER now? She'll never be anyone but BELLA again!!!!

    *raises an eyebrow*

  • tiffanyf105

  • Yes, who would do that...um actors! Ah well, people just need to think before they say things, and realize some things are not that big of a deal.
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    whaaaat? negativity on the kristen post.

    I'm feeling like being a vigilante. let's go put some teeny boppers in their place.

    NIce...I love that you said "Bye" to yourself....classic!

    lol
  • 4thewolf
    Good for him!!! I'd be interested in seeing more of his work. Despite his lazy, happy grin, he makes a great vampire.
    I had to laugh at his stroller fold-up though. Poor guy: new dad, forgot to take the items out b/f he folded it and of course it gets caught on camera...
    LOL
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    rookie mistake, LOL
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    LMAO!
  • tiffanyf105
    HOTNESS!

    how i wish so desperately to be those luscious lips he is licking. yumm
    his wife is luucky!
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Oh I like the sound of this movie! Definitely better than that other one with astrology or something. Love Love vampire movies!
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    yes I do too....see my post below >LOL....kindred spirits we are......

    I
    I
    V
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    I loved him as James...and he makes a great vamp. Very excited he will be making another Vamp movie. I have always loved vampire movies (ones that don't suck) and am always happy when they come up with a new different storyline that incorporates Vamps.

    *Happy Dance*

    Also I think we are going to see Vampire everything for a while because of the popularity of Twlight. (Which I'm happy about). Can't wait to see The Vampire Diaries series starting this fall on the CW....looking forward to True Blood Season 2......yeah I eat all that stuff up.
  • tiffanyf105
    im obsessed with true blood! have you read the vamp diaries? i want to watch the show, the bad guy, i think his name is ian somerhalder, or something like that, is hot!
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Oh yes yes True Blood one of my favorite shows! :-)

    The books I have read, but I like the show better. Season 2 comes out this sunday!
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    I know...but I don't have HBO...it cost 15 buck a month...yuck...I'm going to see if I can watch it on HULU or something....I rented the first season just recently and am obsessed.
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Read Vampire Diaries, can't wait for the fall!!! Ian!!!! YES Ian Soderhalmer.... he's going to make ... SUCH ... a great Damon....

    LOVE TRUE BLOOD Can't wait for SUNDAY!!!

    Started the Sookie Stackhouse series of books... they are so much better, but am amazed how close to the books the show stays.... except for a few odd things here and there.... typical. ;)
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    Looking into the Sookie Stackhouse series...but they are always out at my library....guess I'm going to have to suck it up and just buy them...LOL
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    They are well worth it... lots of times you can get them cheaper on Amazon.com, and even get free shipping! ;D
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    I haven't read the Vamp Diaries...but am still excited about the show. I'm so glad to see Ian Soderholmer again...I loved him as Boone in the show LOST...wow...he died like 3 seasons ago....POoor Boone.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Thats ok with me kassie the more Vamp movies the better :-)


    I love the demon like vamps, the romantic type vamps. I am a Vamp girl! :-)
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    Yes...I will watch anything with Vampires in it. I even will try to watch the crappy corny ones...I just rented Lost Boys (the newer one) it was so corny...Corey Feldman sucked so bad in it...he cannot play the role of a serious person....so if they would have replaced him with someone else it could have been...somewhat okay....but Corey's performance was laughable at best. it was kind of embarassing actually.
  • cclore ~ Team CW for BD
    I'm anxious to see The Vampire Diaries as well! It looks like it's going to be really good!!!
  • Isobelle (Team VF outtakes!)
    Me too!
  • kate4
    Um...is it me or does it sound like a version of Blade? Idk...he's yummy though :)
  • Cam and the brother Jason from True Blood could be Twins...it's freaky!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    OMG you're RIGHT!

    Love Jason from True Blood, he is such an idiot... and has new clue that he's an idiot... love him to death. So cute.
  • The whole time I was watching first season I just thinkin "poor guy" and geez the crazy stuff they had him doing LOL

    HBO is running a look at the first season and at the end shows lots of clips from 2nd season. The director also talks about how this season is going to be even better!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    OMG, I know, when he downed that whole vial of vamp blood!!! I laughed, SO HARD! I just knew what was coming! (no pun intended)

    Been watching all the re-runs and catch up shows... who's the weird guy narrating that anyway? The director or something? He's creepy.

    The one thing I must say is, I'm really glad they didn't put "Bubba" in the show.... I thought that was the WEIRDEST thing to put in those books...
  • tiffanyf105
    alan ball said it would be wierd unless it was the real elvis so they just took out the character completely
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    I think that was a good idea.
  • tiffanyf105
    they do look similar but the guy who plays jason has a very sexy australian accent. i melt every time i watch him in an interview
  • oh yummy! I love an aussie accent! I hadn't seen any interviews with him so I"ll have to check that out :)
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    OH god.....

    *head spinning*

    I had never heard his actual accent before.....

    *hands shaking*

    *goes to youtube to look up interviews with sexy Jason Stackhouse*
  • tiffanyf105
    haha told you! he is soo sexy. i hope there is more naked jason next season!
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    Holy crappalappa DING DONG!

    He's freaking hot. And his accent..... whew! Naked Jason... LOL!! I will never look at him the same again.

    *fanning self*

    OK, settling down, I'm here for Rob.... I'm here for Rob.....
  • honey bee
    LMAO I love half nekkid Jason running through the field. Mmm! It's one of my favorite scenes.

    Who knew Jason Stackhouse had an Australian accent?? Wow! I have to hear this!

    I'm hooked on True Blood too. Watched all of season one in a day and a half. I love the characters, especially Tara, Lafayette, Bill and Miss Sookie of course! True Blood =V ;)
  • FL95 (Team Unicorn)
    I loved Rene! Was so mad when he turned out to be the bad guy. :( Love all of them too, Lafayette, :( sad to see him go.... but I hope they bring even more characters to love - have you read the books???? Book 3 has a new dude I am gunning for - for Sookie... sorry Vampire Bill!
  • honey bee
    LOL Good one!! I see it now!!!
  • swap82
    awesome! way to go Cam. it sounds like a good plot already, i'll be waiting for it. actually, it kinda sound like the same premise as Carlisle's story. i still wish they did not leave that part out of the twilight movie...heck, it was a whole chapter in the book.
