Huh.

 

The TV show wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't a must-watch either, despite having Kristanna Loken in her prime...

Another movie that has taken quite a long while to finally come around.

Jessica Chastain's PAINKILLER JANE Movie Taps ONCE UPON A TIME's Christine Boylan To Adapt The -script

 

Quote

Deadline reports that Lotus Entertainment has set Christine Boylan (Castle, One Upon a Time) to adapt the material for the screen.

For those that may not be familiar with this character, Jane is a near-invulnerable crime-fighter who debuted for Event Comics back in 1995, but has since been utilized by several other imprints and has even crossed over with the likes of The Punisher, Vampirella, and Hellboy. She was also the focus of a short-lived Sci-Fi Channel TV series back in 2007.

Chastain will produce along with Solipsist Films' Stephen L’Heureux and Lotus' Kelly Carmichael. There was a rumor going around that American Mary directors Jen and Sylvia Soska were on board to helm Painkiller Jane, but there's no mention of that in this latest report.
