Sabrina The Teenage Witch to get movie remake

Archie Comics character ‘Sabrina The Teenage Witch’, most famous for the popular live-action sitcom starring Melissa Joan Hart, is heading to the big screen via Sony Pictures.

Deadline reports that it will be an origin story 'in the vein of Spider-Man', because it features a teenager coming to terms with extraordinary powers. Once again it will be in live-action but expect it to be 'edgier' than the TV series.

Salem - Sabrina’s talking black cat - will stick around, and Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari will write the script.

Mark Waters presented the idea to Sony, and may stay on to direct. Producers include Archie Comic’s Jon Goldwater, Jeff Stockwell, Don Murphy and Susan Montford.

But who will play the teenage witch? They’re reportedly looking for a lesser-known actress, and selling the film on the popularity of ‘Sabrina The Teenage Witch’ as a brand.

Former Teen star Melissa Joan Hart has appeared on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and in TV movies since the sitcom finished.
