Adapting a graphic novel for the screen is not for the faint of heart. On top of keeping die-hard fans happy with page-to-screen continuity, filmmakers must carefully script the action to suit the faster pace of the medium.
In many ways, Priest, which opens Friday, is the perfect example of this struggle. While the Korean comic book series by Hyung Min-woo that inspired the film focuses on the pedestrian travels of an undead priest in search of revenge, the film takes a decidedly different approach by tweaking the plot, ditching a lot of the shoe leather and incorporating a slew of custom-made motorcycles.
Wired.com caught up with Hollywood car fabricators at Cinema Vehicle Services and Ghostlight Industries for a behind-the-scenes look at the planning, building and construction of Priest's futuristic two-wheeled co-stars.
