Jessica Chastain’s superhero project Painkiller Jane has taken a step nearer to the theaters, as the writer of the adaptation has been announced as writer/producer Christine Boylan.
Painkiller Jane is also known as Police Officer Jane Vasko, and the star of a comic book miniseries created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada for Event Comics in 1995.
After the character took off, she became popular enough to crossover with the comic incarnations of The Punisher and Hellboy.
So the news that Boylan is now attached to the movie is a clear indication that the production is moving forward.
