Rob Cohen working on Razor superheroine film

Xxx director Rob Cohen is taking charge of a big screen adaptation of cult comic book series Razor.
The filmmaker has penned the screenplay for the project, based on the 1990s graphic novels by Everette Hartsoe, which focuses on leading character Nicole Mitchell, who becomes a vigilante, known as Razor, to keep her city safe after her sister and father are killed in a violent crime.
Cohen will also produce with The Crow’s Jeff Most, with plans to make a follow-up based on Razor’s younger sister Jacklyn, also known as assassin Stryke.
“I have loved Razor since its first publication,” Cohen explains in a statement. “It has operatic themes, female empowerment, revenge, action, a love story, all shrouded in a delicious darkness that fits our time.”
Most adds, “Rob is one of the great visionary action directors of our time. There’s no one better to deliver the visceral and resonant character of Razor and her triumphant story of becoming a dark heroine to the big screen.”
A release date for Razor has yet to be set.
