‘Witchblade’ gets its director … seems right on track!

I’ve only dabbled in the comic book series, but my excuse there is a lack of time to fully dive in. However, I have been a fan of the animated series on the IFC Channel and have been following the development of the live-action feature film that was announced a while back. Now we get news that the film has its director, which seems fitting… Michael Rymer (Battlestar Galactica) will direct and co-produce the feature adaptation. He’s already directed and produced several episodes of the TV series, so its safe to say he’s familiar with the material. ‘Witchblade’ has been a popular storyline that began as a comic book series, then became a live-action TV series, a TV movie and a Japanese animated series.
