Jessica Chastain is set to star in a cinematic adaptation of Painkiller Jane, based on the comicbook series by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada.

According to Deadline, Christine Boylan is working on the script which will see Jane Vasko, a New York City street cop get recruited by the FBI to infiltrate a major NYC drug and human trafficking ring. In a near-death experience, Jane develops exceptional regenerative abilities that give her a unique indestructible advantage. With nothing to live for and no way to die, Painkiller Jane becomes an unstoppable force of nature seeking revenge to those who destroyed her life as she leaves a path of death and destruction in her wake.

The character was created in 1995 for Event Comics. Emmanuelle Vaugier starred in a Sci-Fi Channel TV movie in 2005, and the channel produced a one-season TV version starring T3’s Kristanna Loken as Jane in 2007.
