Blond Meets Blonder

.

It's an epic duel to see who can skinny down further and out-blond the other! Via THR:

"Cam Gigandet will star opposite Paul Bettany in "Priest," a horror Western that Scott Stewart is directing for Screen Gems.

Adapted by Cory Goodman from a TokyoPop comic book, "Priest" is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.

Gigandet plays a young wasteland sheriff who is part vampire. He partners with Bettany to save the girl he loves, the niece. That latter part has yet to be cast.

... Gigandet, repped by WME Entertainment, is filming Screen Gems' thriller "The Roommate" with Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly. The actor is coming off of winning an MTV Movie Award for best fight, awarded for his work in "Twilight." Gigandet won the award the previous year for "Never Back Down," making him the only actor to win it in back-to-back years."

Don't you just love they felt the need to play up that last tidbit? He's the only actor to have won the Best Fight award at the MTV Movie Awards in back-to-back years! Take that, Meryl Streep, you fucking has-been! There's a new award-magnet in town!

Anyway, Bettany and Gigandet, unless there's some hair-dye happening, sure do make for an awfully Aryan duo, don't they? If they cast a blond actress in the female role not yet cast we'll all in the audience go collectively blind from the light reflecting off of their manes. Perhaps that's how they fight the undead? The light from their hair turns them instantly to ash. It's brilliant!
