www.BleedingCool.com - Priest: Genndy Tartakovsky's Animated Prologue

[DrShaym]

"The vampire is more quicker." That's bad grammar.

[iNvictaStudios]

@Avatarass That is true...

[Avatarass]

3 minute prologue is better than the rest of the movie.

[Kaijudomage22]

Tartakovsky does not disappoint....

[TjayBrandon]

The writer. The storylines have nothing to do with each other, and I was greatly disappointed. I wanted a movie adaptation of the books, not this crap.

[TjayBrandon]

As far as I can tell, the only link this movie has to the manwha is

[Scoonertuna]

The entire movie should have been animated. Tartakovsky would have made it incredible.

[SxejokeR]

just WOW

[grasimpson]

I miss Sym Bionic Titan so much. :( I hope it will return one day

[JaviLee36]

i like the WHOLE movie, and i'm waiting for the sequel

[BongaFish]

This was an awesome trailer! ...until 2:36.

[Chodenberg]

@BongaFish  agreed

[butchdeadlift10]

Producers; Please for the love of god read these comments; give Genndy Tartakovsky HALF the budget you gave this shitty movie and you would have gotten at least 5 times the profit.

Arguments against:

1) cartoons aren't realistic; response, "neither are action movies. If can't be realistic, then be artistic"

2) cartoons are for kids; response, "we are in a post Pixar, Simpsons, & anime era for animation. People want to see it as long as it is good. The stigma is dead"

[unicron8]

@butchdeadlift10 Well put on both points, butch.

[butchdeadlift10]

@unicron8 Admittedly I am biased AS an animator

[prodigiousbastard]

Genndy the best animator ever.

[hihjioh542]

If you want to watch the full length film in HiDef quality Go Here >> bit.ly\iKyvgk <<Hurry and Get it before the link expires

[Chung1307Kristina]

I was able to watch part two of the full film in HiDef bluRay quality here >> bit.ly\kAOwtS << the ending is really cool!!! :D

[superf0b]

Why do they have eyes in the prologue, but not in the movie?

[MrInfinite09]

why would they make a movie after all the good stuffed happened??? why couldn't they make the prologue the whole movie Q?WKeWQHEQWHKQHWEQ ???~!??!?!??! would have been A LOT more INTERESTING !

[yodagreennutsack]

I prefer live action over this. Just to put the other side out there.

[RazielBR]

How in the nine circles of hell they can say this is based on the Korean Graphic Novel?? The original story has a lot of western movies influences, the Priest get his cross on the forehead after selling his soul to a demon... I would watch if they didn't conected the movie with the manwha

[jcat76]

DOES ANYBODY HAVE A WALLPAPER FOR 1:45

[RobDiaz97]

the gory bis gut cut out

[butchdeadlift10]

Can we get a version without the crappy narration?

[makistudio]

iré a verla en cine solo para ver esta genialidad de Genndy Tartakovsky

[sonicguy180]

animation FTW

[jakesnake244]

I dont understand why people are complaining about how the live action looks compared to the animation when telling a story. The movie is following this same story people!

[KirBOOM]

I'd see this just to support Genndy. This promo is BADASS. :D

[618Smokey]

@KirBOOM Agreed

[tompetuers]

This is a bitching promo.

[warpedwiselegoman]

the animated version would be superior to the live action version...too bad the full length animated version will never happen....ever....

[AnEvilBastard]

They throw the prologue into theaters with the movie, I''ll sit through an hour and a half to see this on a big screen.

[nynono]

Mr.Tartakovsky you made our childhood unique with Dexter's Laboratory.

[dAMike2468]

What's sad is that the actual movie may not be as cool as this.

[utcclrules]

I remember Min-Woo Hyung said in the inner cover of his comic that he really want Hollywood to buy it and make it into a movie but this is NOT Min-Woo's Priest AT ALL!!! It's LAME,Vampire SHIT!!!

[Northbergh]

@utcclrules

Yeah, the original had nothing to do with vampires. It was about a fallen angel and a resurrected priest possessed by a demon hunting that evil angel (or something like that). That trailer doesn't want me to see that movie at all...

[dagmus]

F*** 3D, 2D Animation is where its at!

[Terrormaster2k]

Better question is why can't the movie just be faithful to manhwa instead of this Hollywood vampire garbage they keep shoving down our throats. This entire production is nothing but an insult to Hyung Min-woo's work which is way better than this and has absolutely NOTHING to do with vampires.

[ctzjolie]

Maggie looks tired. She must be in the middle of shooting Mikita and recording this online in Toronto

[TheAbyssalLurker]

to the fucking assholes who watch this JUST to dislike it to get people angry, GO AWAY, GENNDY IS THE BEST ****ING THING TO HAPPEN TO CARTOON. CN in their OUT RIGHT DUNCE MIND cancelled yet ANOTHER GENNDY mega star show, Sym Bionic Titan.

[CARFmisterioso]

2:36 Massive disappointment moment ever

[BurningEmbers101]

LOL

They spelled Sym-Bionic Titan Wrong!

[HackX9]

u know what sucks? his show "Sym Bionic Titan" got cancelled because (get ready for this) IT DIN'T HAVE ENOUGH TOY MERCHANDISE!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!! Even Samurai Jack dint have a fucking toy merchandise, but it was still succesful!!

[15heartz]

of all the numbers why six?

[hidriutd45]

So much emotion and life in that animation. I mean it tells the entire story within that short time and it has weight. And then the film started...yea.

[MisterShrike]

Shit, thought it was animated.... lost interest. No money for you.

[MilitarySpartan]

For the love of god, let Tartakovsky just go off and make and COMPLETE his series!

[supercyc10]

i don't know

i think id rather watch it animated

they don't make bloody animations anymore

[groundhog713]

@supercyc10 The last great animator that made movies that were towards older audiences was Ralph Bashki. We need more Ralph Bashkis now more than ever...

[derangedmind]

Should've done it all in animation... Lameeeee :(

[nuker60]

Genndy needs to be let loose on his own feature length movie! He made those priests ten times cooler than they actually look in the movie.

[ubergo]

@nuker60 He did the same thing with "Clone Wars"(that's Clone Wars, not THE Clone Wars)back in '03. Grievous and Mace Windu was 100Xbadass than they were in Revenge of the Sh**.

[TheArrJames]

What's funny is that this has NOTHING to do with the source material, which is more Spawn meets Jonah Hex than anything else.

[Xamtaro]

@TheArrJames yea, but you have to admit Genndy Tatarovsky's animation style is quite similar to the original Manhwa art style.

[slorndag]

Wow I was seriously interested until the live-action started.

[kirbykrisis18]

wow. Genndy Tartokovsky needs to make an epic movie of his own!

[Jaxsesic]

Why isn't this entire movie animated?!?!

[GeneralOlde]

It looked absolutely awesome until it got to the live-action scenes. I would've gladly gone to see it had it been an animated feature length film. But I guess animation is just for kids, right? I mean, God forbid there be actually be an animated film aimed at an older audience.

[AWESOMEPWNAGE2]

theres only three words i have to say about Genndy Tartakovsky's animations...

dialogue,drama, and serious action! adding the cartoon prologue for that movie was awesome!

but why didn't they let the entire movie a cartoon. either way, it will be a really good movie.

[Fraidnaught]

@AWESOMEPWNAGE2

That's five words.

My three words would be.

Atmospheric, Kinetic, Jizztastic.

[sad4ewer]

nice movie just wonder what kind of propoganda it is ...

[RLDragonStrider]

Genndy Tartakovsky kicking ass and making quality animation since the early 90s.

Seriouslt why cant the movie be animated???

[Teckniphobia]

It's a strange situation to be in when the animated prologue garners a great deal more interest then the previews for the film itself. But given who is involved, it's not the least bit surprising.

[gassnake]

SYM BIONIC TITAN NEED MORE

[ukimalefu]

@gassnake

YES, MORE!

[keinezung]

the idea of the film seems like a mishmash / sequel of Legion/Equilibrium (Tetragramaton cleric)/Daybreakers

the animation looks amazing, they should make all the movie like this

[nonlethalbychoice]

I don't get it, is this an alternate universe where humans and vampires have always existed? if it is, where did the priests get the symbol of the cross? the cross is a symbol of Jesus' death and sacrifice, but if this is a universe with vampires and stuff, was there some way that Jesus was still able to do his business in it? Doesn't make much sense...

[SgtHydra]

@nonlethalbychoice Perhaps you're overlooking the fact that vampires are fictional to begin with and thus don't have to follow any sort of logic.

It's kind of like how shapeshifters can get around the whole "conservation of mass" thing.

[Brotramel]

@nonlethalbychoice The Cross is a Pagan symbol. Get your facts straight. Also, THIS IS FICITON!!!!

[britenshade]

@nonlethalbychoice There is a GAP in your logic. By gap I mean Good Ass Point.

[LovelyLottie92]

yay genndy

[TheMetalMask36]

I don't get why they would call this Priest. It's not like it has any brand recognition in the US anyway. The actual fans will know this movie has nothing in common with the manwha, and casual fans won't even know what its based on. It just seems like a waste

[EternalRift]

It looks like the only similarities between the upcoming movie and the manwha it's supposedly based on are the title. Other than that I see nothing even remotely similar...

[Koho7]

So the manhwa/comic will continue now? I miss reading this book.

[Dumlebumpen]

I have this crazy idea. Genndy create awesome animation to Judas preist music.

It's a Leather Rebel a Turbo Lover who Run of the Mill because he is the Victim of Changes, ad A touch of Evil Fever with Judas rising. The Electric Eye, The Green Manalish and he is the Painkiller.

[gato23]

People expecting dumb summer action movies to be more than dumb summer action movies

this is why you lot feel disappointed and me grinning like a loon after these kinds of movies.

[TheMARxLENin]

Why should Genndy bother to make prologue or entire movie Priest in this style, as you want him to? He should reboot Samurai Jack in this style instead!

[tranilator]

Master Genndy, we await your return from the wilderness and pray that you take up the katana once more ...

[madacraiova1]

Genndy is a good storyteller,his strong point in terms of animation is his epicness in fight scenes and stuff like that but i think in his productions lacks of character animation, and a feature movie needs that.

 Anyway i would like to see a feature movie from him but most of all i want to see a Samurai Jack Movie.

[krillXIII]

@madacraiova1

Did you watch much of Symbionic Titan? I think that might challenge your view that his production lacks good character animation. The characters in it were capable of being very emotive.

Plus, we've outside of S-T, we've only ever seen him do two comedy and one action/comedy series. I don't think there's enough grounds to judge.

[Gernam12]

Tartakovsky... genius. Why can't he make his own movie?

[Voitan]

Too bad the movie is shit, and has nothing resembling the comic. SHIT MOVIE.

[Wulfsaga]

VAMPIRE!??? IN THE COMIC IT WAS FALLEN ANGEL GODDAMMIT!!! THIS MOVIE NOT A PRIEST!! JUST A STAMP!!

[0871Atta]

Who ruined the trailer by putting that retarded live action bit at the end?

[ShabbelleTiger]

The premise leaves me with so many questions... How did mankind survive in primitive times and then almost face extinction once they developed advanced technology? Why are the priests better at killing vampires one by one than tanks and planes blowing up their whole mountain? Why the hell would people ostracize heroes who saved them from extinction???

[Schwaltzvald]

@ShabbelleTiger

1.less resources spent on food/medical supplies for a small population versus a population the size of India or China for example. Greater focus on tech could be done.

2. Think of the priests as the US Marines versus a regular foot soldier from the Army. Specialized training and greater flexibility versus "lesser" trained but going in large numbers,

3. People fear/hate/disconnect/ostracize ect what they don't understand or are not able to stand equally beside with.

Just my $.02

[MrStarreh]

I'll just give tartakovsky my 8 dollars to watch these 3 minutes in theaters and then leave.

[Luffyrulz09]

Is it sad when i say the liveaction movie looks more cartoony than the animated prolouge?

[armydude102]

Thank you, Cartoon Network, for refusing to allow Tartakovsky to make shows for you and forcing him to quit. Now he can create animation FAR SUPERIOR to ANY CRAP YOU WILL EVER PUT ON THE AIR!!!

[rayvnluv]

@armydude102 I thought he was back at CN? 

[armydude102]

@rayvnluv where did you hear that?

[rayvnluv]

@armydude102  U R correct.

Just read about it on Cartoon Brew.

[armydude102]

@rayvnluv Sad, isn't it? At least he can put his potential to good use elsewhere.

[StarbrockEagleslam]

Tartakovsky > live action

[Slntpsych]

Animation is cool, plot seems kinda lame though. But yeah, if it was all animated, I would probably like it.

[Laaaa]

sooo do we really need a live action adaptation?

[Isaia]

Shit. I'd be a priest, if I get to have awesome vampire slaying powers.

[A5J4DX]

coolio

[yukichan999]

:O! I want Tartakovsky to make a movie!

[ItsTheFizz]

WHY CAN'T THE ENTIRE MOVIE BE LIKE THIS?!

[Scoonertuna]

@ItsTheFizz Look on the brighside Genndy Tartakovsky has proven that he can deliver an effective, dazzling and incredible opening sequence. Imagine if they give him creative control over an entire motion picture?

[towelie893]

I would, without a shadow of a doubt, definitely go see this movie if it were animated like this prologue. Once the live action portion kicked in however, it looked like any other standard Hollywood action movie :/ It's too bad they didn't just let Genndy do the whole thing.

[Chalmsloff]

@towelie893

I would watch this right away if it wasn't "The church protected everyone..." -_-

[Koho7]

@towelie893 How would it being animated make it any different than a standard hollywood action movie though?

[butchdeadlift10]

@towelie893 Including the script

[krillXIII]

Excellent. Seriously, someone in Hollywood needs to just let this man do a movie.

[mattjnor98]

@krillXIII They are, he's doing a movie called Hotel Transylvania.

[zeldaed123]

@mattjnor98 As much as despise the fact that Selena Gomez is in it, I will have to tolerate her horendous acting ability for the sake of Tartakovsky. Hotel Transylvania's box office performance holds the fate of the Samurai Jack conclusion film. We already screwed ourselves out of it once with the Powerpuff Girls movie being a box office disaster. But this time, we will not make that mistake again!

[CheckDare]

Crikey; I'm in!

[kpitanwoods]

whoa! just whoa!
