As reported by Comics Continuum...
Sci Fi Channel has greenlit a two-hour pilot for Painkiller Jane, based on the Event Comics character created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada.
"No casting news yet, but we are excited about the project," Palmiotti told The Continuum.
NBC Universal TV Studios will produce the project in association with MGM TV. John Harrison Don Opper and Greg Gold wrote and will executive produce the film.
Production is expected to begin by the end of the year.
Sci Fi's Mark Stern said to Variety: "She's a strong female superhero paradigm, not simply someone in spandex fighting crime. It's really the drama of a normal person who finds themselves with powers that they don't know what to do with or how to handle."
It's likely the Painkiller Jane pilot will air next summer.
