Brubaker putting "Angel" online
Veteran comic-book artist Ed Brubaker is spearheading an online live-action series. Brubaker, whose credits include "The Death of Captain America" and "Criminal," has been enlisted by Sony Pictures Television to produce "Angel of Death."
Zoe Bell ("Death Proof") will star as an assassin who turns against the individuals who hire her after a head wound causes her to feel haunted by her victims.
The series will run live on Sony-owned video hub Crackle.com.
Sony is eyeing "Angel" as an experiment in introducing a franchise to the DVD market after giving some of the content an online run. The production budget for 10 short-form episodes of the series is $1 million, on the high end for online content.
