The Laurel K. Hamilton Anita Blake books maybe visiting TV land as SciFi Wire (or should that be SyFyWyre?) reports…

The Independent Film Channel is teaming with Lionsgate for a TV movie based on the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter books, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The project is the network’s first-ever feature-length production and could be the basis for more Blake projects if successful.

In the books, Blake is a vampire hunter with a lousy dating life who also works as a police consultant investigating supernatural crimes. She attempts to come to terms with her own abilities, and navigate romantic and political relationships within the vampire community.

But the series is seriously PG-13 or R depending how you look at it. Hopefully it won’t be too kidified… It’s really not a bad serious although I have only read the first 5 or 6 books… By that time, it was becoming more of a Romance / Angst / Drama fest… And leaving it’s “Buffy like roots”.

Good luck with the project, and I’ll certainly take a look at it when it comes out…
