"Painkiller Jane" Comic Gets Big Screen Treatment

Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary and Dead Hooker in a Trunk) have signed on to helm the film adaptation of Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada's comic "Painkiller Jane" says Heat Vision.


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.

The property was turned into both a TV movie which and a short-lived TV series on Syfy.
