After a TV series on TNT and an anime version, Witchblade stretches her media legs once again — Variety reports that Platinum Studios, Top Cow Prods. and Arclight Films are working on a live-action Witchblade movie. They hope to start production in September.
In addition to a brief WTF moment in the article where Variety credits Will Eisner with the creation of Wanted, they also detail Platinum’s full movie plate:
Platinum Studios is involved in screen transformations of several titles from its comics library, including “Atlantis Rising,” a DreamWorks drama being produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, and “Cowboys and Aliens,” another DreamWorks title that Kurtzman and Orci are producing with Imagine Entertainment. Platinum Studios has a Disney deal for “Unique” and is partnered with Hyde Park Entertainment on “Dead of Night,” based on the Italian comicbook series “Dylan Dog.”

The DVD’s for the live action TNT series will be out this summer. Yeah the Variety thing is annoying, if you look at the press release it definitely says Mark Millar/JG Jones, heh.
