Gale Anne Hurd's Valhalla Motion Pictures, Platinum Studios and Top Cow Productions are behind the project. Hurd and Platinum chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg are producing. Valhalla's Gary Ventimiglia is executive producing. Top Cow CEO Marc Silvestri also is executive producing, as is former Universal senior executive Randy Greenberg. Top Cow president Matt Hawkins is set to co-produce.

Both actors will be at Top Cow's panel at the San Diego Comic Con.

My only exposure to the Magdelina was a crossover one shot with DareDevil. From that little bit I got a sort of Constantine vibe from her character. So I'd definitely check something like this out.

I can already hear the Catholic Church protesting.

Every time they protest it's a free advertisement. If they can't get over themselves then they should stay out of the theater. More popcorn for me.

Amen, trollman!
