What happens

Witchblade is a made-for-television live-action superhero film adapted from the comic book by Marc Silvestri and Top Cow Productions. Set in contemporary New York City, the occult police drama centers on Sara Pezzini (Yancy Butler), a brooding and willful homicide detective who is the reluctant inheritor of an ancient, symbiotic weapon that grants her superhuman powers. Witchblade was directed by Ralph Hemecker, written by J. D. Zeik, and produced by Top Cow Productions and Halsted Pictures in association with Warner Bros. Television. After a world-premiere screening at the Wizard World Chicago 2000 convention, the Turner Network Television (TNT) film made its debut August 27, 2000. The strong ratings performance of the two-hour action-thriller led to the TNT original series Witchblade (2001–2002). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
