After being a comic book and a tv series Witchblade is finally to come to the big screen. Directed by Michael Rymer (Battlestar Galactica) Witchblade tells the story of Sara Pezzini, a tough-as-nails NYPD homicide detective who comes into possession of the Witchblade, a supernatural, sentient artifact with immense destructive and protective powers. The weapon has bonded with various women throughout history, the most recent being Danielle Baptiste. Others who have come into contact with the Witchblade include Cleopatra and Joan of Arc. Sara struggles to hone the awesome powers of the Witchblade and fend off those with a nefarious interest in it, especially entrepreneur Kenneth Irons.
Nadia Bjorlin (Days of our Lives) is being mooted as securing the lead role of Sara Pezzini.
