A live-action Magdalena movie was announced "in development" last summer, and three comic book movie production companies united for the project: Valhalla Motion Pictures, Platinum Studios and Top Cow.
The busty brunette-headed heroine first appeared within the pages of Top Cow's "The Darkness," and has bounced around various other titles such as "Vampirella," "Witchblade" and even "Tomb Raider." Patience is the name of the character who is a descendant of Mary Magdalene and part of an all-female caste of warriors who fight supernatural evil.
Sultry actress Jenna Dewan won the part of the live version...
"She's terrific. It's kind of like 'The Da Vinci Code' meets 'Wanted,'" says producer Gale Anne Hurd.
"You've got the mythology and a character who isn't initially aware of her legacy which something I love. Many of my films deal with that. And it's still has supernatural elements."
