Deadline brings word that screenwriter Laura Kosann has been tapped to write the upcoming supernatural fantasy pic Mercy Sparx, which will center around a female demon who’s hunting down rogue angels on Earth.
The project is a co-production between The Picture Company and Assemble Media with Jack Heller, Alex Heineman, and Andrew Rona set as producers.
It has been more than a year since MGM nabbed the screen rights to Devil’s Due Publishing’s Mercy Sparx comics, and it looks like the film adaptation is finally making some progress with its pre-production.
On earth, Mercy has an existential crisis and begins to see the gray area between good and evil.
