New plot conceived for 'Witchblade' film

Speaking to MTV News, Hawkins confirmed that they are still looking for a writer for the project, which has already secured financing and acquired Michael Rymer (Battlestar Galactica) as director.
He said that Top Cow has devised a new idea for the plot.
"We sat down with a couple of guys, [co-producer] Platinum Studios and Marc Silvestri and I, and we banged out a three-page document that says here's the basic story idea we want to do," he said. "It's sort of a balancing act - it's very different from the book, but thematically, it's very much the same.
"We always say you don't want to stay ridiculously faithful to the comic, but at the same time, if you make it so radically different, what's the point?"
Witchblade has already appeared on screen as a live action television show and an anime series.
