02/11/2006 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Now wearing her grundies over her tights, Terminator star Loken has been tapped as the series lead in Painkiller Jane. This new superhero series is to premiere Spring of 2007. Buy Painkiller Jane in the USA - or Buy Painkiller Jane in the UK  Our chums over at the SCIFI Channel have cast Kristanna Loken in the title role of its new superhero actioner 'Painkiller Jane.' Production on 22 one-hour episodes of the series, produced by Insight Film Studios, in association with Starz Media and Kickstart Comic Arts Studio, will begin in Vancouver next month.
Based on the comic book created by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada, Painkiller Jane is the story of Jane Vasko (Loken), a DEA agent who is recruited by a covert government organization tasked with capturing Neuros - genetically-enhanced individuals who possess superhuman powers of the mind. During the course of her first investigation with the team, Jane inexplicably discovers that she too possesses extraordinary abilities - abilities that render her impervious to injury, but not pain. She develops miraculous regenerative powers, healing from every injury and finding herself stronger than she had been before. As she continues to work with the government to hunt Neuros, Jane tries to uncover the cause of her own transformation and what - if any - connection she shares with the very people she is pursuing.
Painkiller Jane is executive produced by showrunner Gil Grant (24, NCIS). Loken will serve as co-executive producer. The series is slated to premiere on SCIFI in Spring 2007, followed by a domestic broadcast weekly syndication window in Fall 2007.
Bestknown for starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger as the beautiful 'TX' (Terminatrix) in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machine' for Warner Bros., Loken last appeared in theaters as 'Rayne' in the feature film adaptation of the video game, BloodRayne. She also starred in SCIFI's miniseries 'Dark Kingdom' in March 2006 and recently completed filming 'Dungeon Siege: In The Name of the King,' starring alongside Burt Reynolds, Claire Forlani and Matthew Lillard, among others. Loken also produced the independent film 'Lime Salted Love,' in which she also stars.
Loken will appear as a guest star on the 2007 season of Showtime's The L Word. She is represented by Eddy Yablans and Lisa Gallant at ICM and managed by Miles Levy of James Levy Management.
