The series follows Jane, a cop who joins her best friend/partner in going undercover into an interconnected drug ring. When her true identity is exposed, she is tortured and discovers that she has supernormal regenerative powers bordering on invulnerability - minor ones heal in seconds, major ones in minutes. There's a catch though, she still feels the pain of her injuries before they heal.
Now, the American Mary and Dead Hooker in a Trunk duo have confirmed to Crave Online they are definitely aiming for a hard R-rating.
Jen Soska says:
"I'm not working for Marvel. It has to be an R-rated character. When you come to a character like Jane, she drinks, she fights, she f--ks, she talks like you and I talk, and that's an important part of her character. That's why we'd be really disappointed if that ended up being a PG or a PG-13 film because if you look at the character... Kids are reading this kind of content. I mean, when I was a kid I was reading 'The Punisher' So Jane has to be true to the character and it's got to be an R. We can't tone it down or we'd tone Jane out of the entire script."
The property was turned into both a TV movie which and a short-lived TV series on Syfy. Sylvia Soska says this movie could well be the character's final chance to get a loyal adaptation on screen:
"This is the third shot, they kept watering her down, watering her down, watering her down. Jen and I are not going to let that happen, and Jimmy Palmiotti - who is also one of the producers - he's not going to let that happen. There are some scenes in this movie, there's no way they're not going to slap us with an R. Once you see it, it's going to just be bats--t crazy."
