The film first entered development in 2005, when Screen Gems bought the spec script by Cory Goodman. In 2006 Andrew Douglas was attached to direct and Gerard Butler was attached to star. They were eventually replaced by Stewart and Bettany in 2009 and filming started in Los Angeles, California, later in the year. The film changed release dates numerous times throughout 2010 and 2011. It was especially pushed back from 2010 to 2011 to convert the film from 2D to 3D. It is scheduled to be released first in the United Kingdom, Slovenia and Spain on May 06, 2011.[2]
An interview in Priest: Volume 3 the author Hyung Min-woo states that the comic was inspired by the computer game Blood, which featured a similar horror-Western aesthetic and undead protagonist.

I liked the movie as well, Priest was an action movie, and you are right it did feel rushed because of the length or lack there of. If they would have gone a full two hours, it would have for sure been a great action movie, but since it wasn't, it won't be. My thought on the movie was that the derailment wasn't successful, and the vampires get into the city and blood and gore on mass proportion, but we can't all get what we want. Now where you paid a dollar for the rental, which is a good price to pay for this movie, I rented it for free. Working for DISH I was going through all the promotions and came across a 3month free trial of blockbuster by mail for all DISH subscribers, so I signed up and actually have been enjoying the service and the fact I have one month left of it being free.
