Future Films has optioned the feature rights for Hope Falls, the comic book by Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood.  Bleeding Cool describes the comic as "about a girl who returns to her home town after twenty years, who is then revealed to have been murdered by a group of men who are now prominent town citizens, and she’s out for some supernatural revenge."  I get a bit lost when I venture into the world of comics, but based on cursory searches, Hope Falls looks like a smaller title.  But it's a big idea, and "girl with a vendetta" is a proven cinematic foundation.  Seems primed for adaptation.  Hit the jump for more on the comic.

Publisher Markosia lists this synopsis for Hope Falls - The Ultimate Edition:

Twenty years ago they murdered her – and now she’s back to even the score, as Helen, a falling Angel returns to the town she died in to extract revenge on the four men who killed her – while discovering an Angelic conspiracy that dates back to Jesus Christ. Will God allow her to gain vengeance? Or is the Angel Michael right about her true purpose?

I like the way Lee pitched it back in 2007:

"It’s The Crow meets Twin Peaks when Helen, a female Angel free falling towards Hell, returns to the steel mill town where she was killed twenty years earlier — to extract revenge on her four murderers. But then there’s a little bit of a Da Vinci Code twist when Michael, the Angel trying to stop her, discovers that the original murder and current revenge spree were both sanctified by the church and Heaven itself."
