Every super hero under the sun is crawling out of the woodwork looking for a pay check. Today we learn that Witchblade has begun to forge a film thanks to our friends at IESB:
Sara Pezzini, AKA Witchblade will be making her big screen debut. The trades are reporting that Platinum Studios, Top Cow Prods. and Arclight Films will team on a live-action feature adaptation of “Witchblade,” based on the Top Cow comicbook franchise.
The comicbook 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.
I have never been interested in reading Witchblade. It looked to “soft-core porn” to be taken seriously and never looked campy enough to be enjoyable. When you have a scantily clad superhero slut, you really need to go overboard with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
I may be gushing pure shit from my mouth however, I have never read the comic and am basing my opinion solely on the images I have seen of the character. If any of you are fans of the comic book, or have read it please share your thoughts on this announcement. Would Witchblade make for good cinema, or should it remain an entry level smut mag for our geek brethren?
