The Powers That Be are transforming Top Cow's WITCHBLADE comics into a movie franchise (more about the comics HERE).
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.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.
The franchise has previously been adapted as an anime series in Japan...

...and a live-action series that was on TNT here in the States.

Yance Butler, star of the live-action show, is currently appearing in TALES OF AN ANCIENT EMPIRE...a pseudo sequel to THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER (more HERE).
