Arclight Films and Jeff Most Productions are set to produce a $15M live-action feature film adaptation of Everette Hartsoe’s female action hero comic Razor.

Razor is the alter ego of Nicole Mitchell, the daughter of an LAPD detective who is murdered when she is a child.  She grows up to become a stealth fighter by night who protects the defenseless on the lawless streets of Chinatown, whilst helping disaffected teens during the day.

Razor was the flagship comic for Hartsoe’s London Night Studio’s, a major independent comic company in the 1990’s.  In 1996, creator/founder Everette Hartsoe was voted the 18th most powerful person in comics by Combo Magazine.  In 1997 Wizard Magazine voted Razor: Burn #1 as one of the top 20 comics of the year.  Razor became the top selling female heroine comic of the 90’s with over 5 million comics in circulation.

In 1998 Hartsoe’s final graphic novel was published featuring a crossover between Razor and J. O’Barr’s The Crow. Jeff Most, who produced The Crow movie, will also produce Razor.

Filming on Razor will commence early 2010 in Australia.
