The Darkness was the first Top Cow property optioned for film way back in 2004 (see "'The Darkness' Falls in Hollywood"). In 2011 Mandeville Films acquired the movie rights to The Darkness and it appeared that a movie version was once again a good possibility (see "Comic-Con Movie Deals Trend to the Generic"). Now Mandeville has joined with New Regency and director Len Wiseman’s Sketch Films to develop The Darkness vs. Witchblade film project.
