From comic to TV to the big screen
Witchblade, the popular comic book that originated in ’95 from Top Cow comics, will serve as the basis for a live-action film.
The comic book introduced the Witchblade mythology, which centers on a supernatural artifact with destructive powers that has “bonded” with various women throughout history (including Cleopatra and Joan of Arc). The property spawned a television series and an anime series in 2006.
Pic 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.
Shooting is expected to take place in Australia.
