Gale Anne Hurd, founder of Valhalla Motion Pictures continue to develop Top Cow's 'spiritually themed' comic book series "Magdalena" as a feature film.
Kevin Taft is writing the screenplay, focusing on a young woman named 'Patience' who discovers she is part of a lineage of female warriors descended from the biblical 'Mary Magdalene'.
The film's present-day action-adventure storyline is being compared to "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown.
"'Magdalena' is exactly the kind of project we love," said Hurd.
"A strong female lead character, a story with rich mythology, and compelling characters ... The religious overtone adds a new dimension to the adventure story ..."
"Magdalena" the comic book series has been translated into 26 languages for 55 countries.
