Hold onto your broomsticks. Sony Pictures is turning Sabrina the Teenage Witch into a superhero in their new live-action film. The character was introduced in the 1960s Archie Comics and most recently was brought to life by Melissa Joan Hart in the television series that started in 1996 and ran for seven years. Sony is banking on the successful trend of recent superhero movies to bring this character back into the limelight.

According to Deadline, Sony’s film will approach Sabrina the Teenage Witch like a Spider-Man-esque superhero origin story “about a young girl coming to terms with her remarkable powers.” This version of Sabrina will “be edgier” and has changed Salem, her black cat who can talk, into a “transformed prince creating unique love stories for Sabrina.” The project is on the fast track to production and the studio is excited to discover an actress for the title role.

The studio has secured scribes Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Die in a Gunfight) to write the script. Don Murphy and Susan Montford (Reel Steel) will produce the project. Mark Waters (Mean Girls) may direct the film as he was involved with this project’s pitch to the studio. Jon Goldwater of Archie Comics will executive produce and scribe Jeff Stockwell will co-produce.
