Award-Winning Comics Mastermind Ed Brubaker and Crackle.com Team Up for Live Action Series

Comics mastermind and Eisner Award-winning writer Ed Brubaker (Criminal, The Death of Captain America) and White Rock Lake Productions have teamed up to produce Angel of Death, a new live-action series for Crackle.com, Sony Pictures Entertainment's online video network, that will premiere in 2009.

Stuntwoman turned actress Zoe Bell ("Death Proof," "Double Dare") has been cast as the lead character in the series, which depicts a remorseless assassin (Bell) in the employ of a ruthless crime family. After suffering a severe head wound, she becomes so haunted by her victims that she decides to kill the people who ordered the hits, one by one. Angel of Death will premiere in 2009 on http://www.crackle.com/angelofdeath. Each 8-10 minute installment will be released over the course of 10 weeks.

"Besides the elation I feel about having a project I wrote actually being filmed, which is huge for any writer, I'm just as thrilled about having Zoe Bell signed on to star in Angel of Death," said creator/writer Ed Brubaker. "And working with Crackle and Sony Pictures Television to give viewers instant access to the series online is completely overwhelming."

"Angel of Death is exactly the kind of high-caliber original content our audience has come to expect from Crackle," said Sean Carey, senior executive vice president, Sony Pictures Television. "The combination of Ed's sensibility and Zoe's talent is sure to keep loyalists and new viewers alike coming back for more."
