Son of a 'Witch'!
Platinum Studios, Top Cow, and Arclight Films will team up to bring a live-action adaptation of the comic-book series Witchblade to the big screen, according to Variety. The comic series focuses on an ornate jewel-encrusted gauntlet that gives extraordinary powers to the wearer, a specially chosen female from each generation. The comics themselves have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, scored a 2000 telepic-turned-weekly-series that ran for two years, and has appeared in 21 different languages in 55 different countries. The film version will be produced by Arclight's Gary Hamilton and Nigel Odell, Platinum Studios' Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, and Steve Squillante of Havenwood Media. Top Cow's Marc Silvestri and Matt Hawkins will be exec producers with Platinum Studios' Rich Marincic and Greenberg Group's Randy Greenberg. The producers are eyeing a September start with hopes to shoot on location in Australia.
