Variety has reported that Image Comics/Top Cow Productions have teamed up with Platinum Studios and Gale Hurd's Valhalla Motion Pictures to produce a big screen version of the publisher's Magdalena!
"Magdalena is exactly the kind of project we love: a strong female lead character, a story with rich mythology, and compelling characters," said Hurd, whose production credits include The Terminator, Armageddon, Hulk, The Punisher and the upcoming Aeon Flux. "The religious overtone adds a new dimension to the adventure story, while Kevin Taft's terrific storyline still deals with realistic, contemporary issues in an entertaining and relatable way."
The script will be drawn directly from the character's origin story, which began in The Darkness #15-#17 and carried over into several guest appearances and two mini-series. The comic deals with a young woman named Patience, who learns that she is a descendant of Mary Magdalene and member of a line of female warriors tasked to fight supernatural evil.
An announcement like this is sure to generate increased interest in the property. Don't be caught without Magdalena merchandise in your shop! Check below for linked listings of in-stock and upcoming Magdalena merchandise and confirm quantities for your store today!
