British actor Paul Bettany has the dashing looks and commanding presence of a leading man, but his filmography bolsters the case that he's not a creature of vanity or easy paychecks. Whether comparing his drunken Chaucer in "A Knight's Tale" to his ruthless thug in "Gangster No. 1," or his hypocritical do-gooder in Lars von Trier's arthouse masterpiece "Dogville" to his self-flagellating albino monk in a splashy blockbuster like "The Da Vinci Code," Bettany continually proves himself an intelligent and versatile performer who's passionate about new career challenges.
In director Jean-Marc Vallée's luxurious new biopic "The Young Victoria," Bettany co-stars as Lord Melbourne, a Prime Minister who became the 18-year-old, freshly ascended Queen Victoria's self-serving political tutor. Set in 1837, the film portraitizes Victoria (Emily Blunt) as we haven't seen her: a progressive-minded, spirited beauty in the early days of her reign and her courtship with Prince Albert

Astounding Casting For Screen Gems' 'Priest' Adaptation

Paul Bettany, who recently blew my mind in the incredible Gangster No. 1, is in negotiations to star in Priest, a horror Western that Michael De Luca and Stars Road Entertainment's Josh Donen are producing for Screen Gems for release on August 13, 2010.
The move will reunite Bettany with director Scott Stewart, for whom he just finished starring in Legion, an upcoming Screen Gems supernatural thriller.
An adaptation of a TokyoPop comic book, Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece. Cory Goodman (The Brood) wrote the screenplay.
"I knew the moment I saw Stewart's first cut of 'Legion' that Bettany was Priest and so I mentioned it to him immediately," Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper said.

It's rare that two movies get released with the same title (or pretty close) in the same calendar year, but 2009 has two "Push" pictures on the schedule and you can chalk it up to their studios not being members of the tightly controlling MPAA. The first "Push" stars Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Djimon Hounsou and Camilla Belle and is a surprisingly entertaining and stylish thriller from director Paul McGuigan who made some noise with his debut "Gangster No. 1" and more recently with the Ashton Kutcher mystery "Lucky Number Slevin." Filmed on location in Hong Kong, this "Push" finds two
