Deadline reveals that Sony Pictures are bringing Sabrina The Teenage Witch to the big screen. The fact that she originated in 1960s era Archie Comics doesn't exactly qualify her as ComicBookMovie.com material, but there's a slight twist. She's going to be a superhero! Apparently the film will be an origin story similar to that of Spider-Man, as it features a young girl comes to terms with her newfound powers. Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Die In A Gunfight) will write the script, and Real Steel producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford are producing and Mark Waters (Mr. Popper's Penguins) is in talks to helm the reboot. There are no actresses currently being eyed for the title role, although it's thought they may go for an unknown.
