Platinum Studios, Top Cow Productions and Arclight Films will team on a live-action feature adaptation of Witchblade, based on the Top Cow comic-book franchise, Variety reported. The comic book introduced the Witchblade mythology, which centers on an ornate jewel-encrusted gauntlet that gives extraordinary powers to the wearer, a specially chosen female from each generation.
The comic-book franchise has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide since debuting in 1995. It spawned a 2000 telefilm that turned into a weekly series that ran for two seasons on TNT, starring Yancy Butler. Witchblade has been published in more than 21 languages and 55 countries. The most recent incarnation was an anime TV show in Japan by Gonzo Digimation in 2006. The companies are already eyeing a location shoot in Australia.
