The new sci-fi film Priest based on a Koren graphic novel features a Suzuki Gladius racing around a post-apocalyptic world, taking a renegade warrior priest to save his neice, who has been abducted by vampires.
More special effects than weird plot, the Suzuki Gladius is virtually unrecognisable, but was created by Cinema Vehicle Services and Ghostlight Industries for the film.
The model is designed as a superfast, jet–engine style motorcycle dragster and MCN quotes director Scott Stewart as saying: “There was sort of an idea that the Priest bike was like the weapons that are being handed to an elite force… we wanted these bikes to feel like you’re sitting on a jet engine.
”Check out the trailer to see how the Gladius got transformed.
