Two summer action movies, one sci-fi and one fantasy, make their debuts this summer and both offer a new TV Spot during the Big Game today.

Priest, which marks the re-teaming of director Scott Stewart (Legion) and star Paul Bettany takes us to an alternate post-apocalyptic future where vampires and humans have fought for centuries. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides brings back Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Captain Barbossa on a quest to find the fountain of youth.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, marks the fourth installment in the financially successful Disney live-action franchise and the first without key cast members Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom. Instead, Captain Jack is back on a more pirate-focused treasure hunt, alongside rival Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and a new female lead played by Penélope Cruz, as they cross paths with the infamous Blackbeard (Ian McShane).

And here's the extended one-minute preview:

Even with Gore Verbinski passing the directorial reins to Rob Marshall, this TV spot and the Pirates 4 trailer maintain the exact look and feel of the franchise so far, especially when it comes to characters and action set pieces. Unfortunately, with the second and third installments being disappointments, that may not be a good thing. Can we get a better movie with the director and cast changes?

The story of Priest follows a Warrior Priest (Bettany) who breaks his vows and journeys on a quest to rescue his niece who was kidnapped by a gang of vampires. Joining him on the rescue mission are his niece's boyfriend, a sheriff named Hicks (Cam Gigandet) and priestess (Maggie Q). The film also stars Karl Urban as the vampire known as Black Hat along with a supporting cast which includes Christopher Plummer, Stephen Moyer and Lily Collins.

The fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is expected to come aboard this year's Cannes film festival.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides will screen out of competition at the French festival on 14 May, following its world premiere at Disneyland on 7 May, Variety reports (paywall).

While the Disney film might not seem like standard Cannes fare at first glance, the festival does have a tradition of hosting more commercial Hollywood work. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, for example, had its world premiere at Cannes in 2008. The decision could raise the event's international profile, by drawing Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz on to its red carpet.

The pirate film would join a lineup that already includes Woody Allen's festival opener Midnight in Paris, which features an appearance by Carla Bruni, the wife of the French president.

Also showing is Gus van Sant's Restless, starring Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper, the late Dennis Hopper's son. It opens the Un Certain Regard alternative selection. Van Sant won the Palme d'Or in 2003 with Elephant.

The full list of the films in competition at Cannes will be announced on Thursday.

This week the festival announced that it would be awarding an annual honorary Palme d'Or for directors of 'authoritative' work who have never won the top prize at the festival. This year's recipient will be the Italian director of Last Tango in Paris and The Last Emperor, Bernardo Bertolucci.
