Look out for the new and gritty Sabrina the Teenage Witch?


More remake mess, folks. Sony Pictures want to make Sabrina into a Buffy-ish superhero. Why? Child, I couldn't tell you, but they are trying to remix her into a Katniss Everdeen.

Here's the scoop:
Sabrina The Teenage Witch is getting a makeover at Sony Pictures. The precocious teen witch who originated in 60s Archie Comics, is being recast as a superhero. The live action film will be an origin story in the vein of Spider-Man, about a young girl coming to terms with her remarkable powers.

Scribes Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari (they wrote Die In A Gunfight for MRC) will write the script, and Real Steel producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford are producing. Mark Waters, who worked on the presentation that Sony Pictures sparked to, might direct depending on scheduling. Archie Comics’ Jon Goldwater will be executive producer and screenwriter.
I don't know about this.
